The title attribute IDs it as "Portal/IDB/icon-community-32x32.png".

This icon is a) stereotyping so-called "North American" Indigenous
peoples, and I would highly recommend and demand that this icon be
changed. I don't see why a stereotype of us should be used to represent
community. I'm sure non-Indigenous people have communities too, and have
a sense of community, why should we be made an example in such a
negative way? Sure we have a lot to offer the rest of the non-Indigenous
world, and have, a LOT, but hey, don't keep up the false images. We
don't all live in tipis on Great Turtle Island ("North America"), you know.

Thanks for your time,

simon
