Wallace Nagedzi Watts had been going to Seahawks games for almost three decades when a historical discovery helped supercharge his fandom - and deepened his connection to his indigenous roots.
"It kind of changed my whole life," says Watts, a prominent fan of the American football team who goes by the name Captain Seahawk.
"Because of the Seattle Seahawks I started getting back into my culture."
Speaking to the BBC while driving down to attend the Super Bowl game in Santa Clara, California, where the Seahawks are due to take on the New England Patriots, Watts says "it's been my life's mission for the last 12 years to notify everyone that the Seahawks logo was copied from the Kwakwaka'wakw tribe on Vancouver Island".
The discovery was made during the Seahawks last Super Bowl sting - coincidentally also against the Patriots - in 2014.
