The mayor of Duluth, Minn. is pushing city council members to remove the word “chief” from city job titles, saying the term is offensive to Native Americans. Under the new measure, which the city council will take up Monday, Duluth's chief administrative officer would be called city administrator and chief financial officer would be called finance director, the Star Tribune reported.

Those titles would be harder to replace, due to their widespread use among law enforcement agencies across the country. The Washington Redskins, Cleveland Indians and the Kansas City Chiefs have all been called to change their mascots to avoid offending indigenous people.
