A copy of the executive order from Osage Nation Chief Geoffrey Standing Bear was shared on Facebook.

The Osage Nation of Oklahoma won't be using FedEx whenever possible due to the shipping giant's connections to the Washington NFL team.

FedEx pays for the naming rights to the stadium in Maryland where the team plays. Its president, Fred Smith, is a member of the team’s ownership group.

The company, however, has refused to take a stand on the team's racist mascot. So Osage Chief Geoffrey Standing Bear said the tribe will make its views known through its pocketbook.

"Until the name of the NFL team is changed to something less inflammatory and insulting, I direct all employees to refrain from using FedEx when there is an alternative available," Standing Bear said in an executive order on Monday.
