[Cherokee] Your logo is extremely culturally insensitive to American Indigenous Peoples

Please consider removing it or changing it. For some context, there is a
huge dispute in N. America about people using Native American
symbols/logos/caricatures in popular culture to demean or otherwise
insinuate that indigenous people are fast, quirky, half-witted, lesser-than,
etc. The entire idea of naming web servers after Native People (for no
reason) and then having logos from their cultural background makes little
sense. Perhaps you could consider redesigning your logo to use something
other than a caricature of a person? Also posted this to the Hiawatha forum,
which has a similar issue.
