Pocahontas and the President - Alliance of Colonial Era Tribes
"Pocahontas" is not a racial slur.
When honorably referencing the actual historic figure, this indeed is true. However, the name becomes a derogatory racial reference when used as an insult. American Indian names, whether they be historic or contemporary, are not meant to be used as insults. To do so is to reduce them to racial slurs.

Could it have been said any more plain?
Let's say it again:
American Indian names, whether they be historic or contemporary, are not meant to be used as insults. To do so is to reduce them to racial slurs.
