Native American leaders in Kansas City are once again asking the Chiefs to change their name. 

The "Not In Our Honor" Coalition, a Native American group founded by students from the University of Kansas and Haskell University, have been working for quite some time to make Chiefs CEO and president Clark Hunt change his organization’s name. 

The coalition asked people to join them at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on Monday night before the Chiefs took on the Las Vegas Raiders to protest, and it comes on Indigenous Peoples Day, to which the Chiefs released a statement.

"Today the Chiefs organization joins people all across the country in recognizing Indigenous Peoples’ Day, a chance to honor and celebrate American Indian peoples, histories and cultures," the statement read. "We continue to have important dialogue with local and national groups to identify ways to educate ourselves and our fans by raising awareness of American Indian communities and their rich traditions. We look forward to celebrating American Indian Heritage Month of GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, Nov. 27, when we take on the Los Angeles Rams."

The coalition didn’t like what they read.
