They used to run TV and newspaper ads in Los Angeles in the 1960s... (maybe other places as well) with a cartoon drawing of a smiling kid named Chico and older Indian men with the warbonnet headress

Almost all of the trains... Texas Chief Super Chief San Francisco Chief had Indian names on their passenger cars and Indian decor inside the lounge cars

I'm sure it wasn't intended as racist...actually just highlighting the fact that they ran trains thru the southwest...
I wonder when someone will start pressuring Amtrak to stop using the Southwest Chief name
