The Quechan Tribe turned down a “blank check” from the foundation run by the owner of the Washington Redskins because it didn’t want to be used to prop up the reputation of the controversial team, a tribal member who attended the meetings said Thursday.
Representatives from team owner Daniel Snyder’s Original Americans Foundation offered the Quechans money to build a memorial skate park on the Fort Yuma Reservation on the Arizona-California border, according to Kenrick Escalanti, who attended the meetings at the tribal administration building.
