I knew a Native American who used it as a positive idiom (rebellion/revolution), I think it has made me forget that it's negative. It's not a phrase I use but it's it's being aware of your language is important.

That's really interesting, and I can see how someone who's Native American could elect to use it to comment on themselves without being negative toward others.
