NFL officials will meet with the Native American group that is campaigning against the name of the Washington Redskins and hosted a symposium Monday on the issue a mile away from where league owners began gathering for a fall meeting.

"They know we're not going away," said Ray Halbritter, a representative for the Oneida Indian Nation. He called the meeting with the National Football League "a move in the right direction."
