I am so ashamed of your company for this decision. I stood behind you during all of your righteous efforts to help others that are suffering from injustice in our community. Please take some serious time to consider how hurtful your actions are to your fellow human beings. We are here. We are people. We will not be degraded as a form of entertainment or profit. Now we are calling upon you to stop the appropriation of our culture.

I love CBW. I’m a loyal customer, and you have a place in my heart. I really need you to not contribute to perpetuating the trend of using native names/imagery/icons to promote oneself. It’s damaging to a large group of people, insensitive, and wrong. You have the power to make good, ethical choices here. Stop production, and have a night selling Frank that 100% goes to the Seneca Nation.
I look forward to CBW making the right choice.

Please don't bring back Iroquois beer. It's adefaming and inappropriate title.

This name on a beer bottle is insulting to our Native friends and neighbors. Please do not refer to Native peoples in your product names.

White europeans destroyed these peoples communities and lands. The tribes were decimated with violence and death. Don't steal their name for $$$$$. Ask the Iroquios tribe whether they will license the name to you for commercial purposes.

I cannot believe that a company still sees no problem with profiteering off of a derogatory stereotype of so many communities. Do the right thing, show some creativity. Or just pretend to be living in this millenium.

This is simply outrageous. If you still don’t get why, take the day and go see the new exhibition “Americans” at NMAI in DC,aybe a bit of elementary ed will help you. But in 2018, there’s no excuse to do something like this.

The CBW folks are usually very woke to this stuff and I urge them to back off this name.

I find the use of the word Iroquois beverage. Does it insinuate that the proud Iroquois people onlydrink beer?

Way to go, CBW: using a brand to reap profits while continuing the idiocy of the past. Not to mention, it's not even the same beer, which blatantly exposes the nature of their entire gimmick to make a buck off of appropriation.

Please reconsider this decision. The Iroquois people should be the only ones benefiting from their name.

It is arrogant & foolhardy that you would even consider this move. If you want a negative controversy that will throw a bad light on your company. If you aspire to have your product boycotted, then yes you are well on your way.

Use your own heritage.
No to Iroquois Beer! Stop the disrespect!
Nope.
This can't go on!
