I think your accusations are a bit of a red herring: As we have well learned by now, a symbol is not the object it represents. However you're attempting to assert the representation is the object and is therefore objectionable, this is a logical fallacy.
If you care about the history of native peoples, spend your time and energy enriching that culture rather than detracting from relatively unrelated software projects which neither detract from nor otherwise frame native ethnography.
