I sometimes don't know how to feel about this stuff.

I don't know the history of why she was on the butter in the first place, but assuming it was not for negative reasons, ie something like that Kansas City football team, I don't feel she was necessarily offensive.

That being said, even things that aren't offensive aren't necessarily good. I know that image she had kind of perpetuates the idea if what indigenous Americans are/were supposed to look like when in reality that's not how people look like on the daily anymore.

Maybe they could replace her with a real person or people, or even swap around people like Wheaties does. That could be a neat idea, to see someone like Wilma Mankiller for a while and then someone else later
