I am majoring in Teacher Education with a focus in mathematics. I am conducting a survey on Indian mascots as a project for a Native Studies class. I am interested in feedback from both tribal members and non-tribal members.Please take a minute to contribute your thoughts on this issue.

I watched the film ‘In Who’s Honor’ and got the oppurtunity to meet that lady that fought Illinois, and was educated on how mascots are disrespectful! And NDNs shouldn’t be ‘token NDNs’ or represented in cosutmes, etc.

I feel assured that Native people will one day receive more understanding from the non-native population through the promotional and educational techniques that are being created by this organization TO STOP THE RACISM and pay tribute to the indigenious people that have suffered and paid greatly to survivie on this great land. The heart and spirit of the people will always be in the land for as long as she will endure the ravages of technology. Despite the dishonor to our ancestors “The keepers of America” have contributed to the freedom and glory we all experience as Americans. Long live the spirit of the Native American people.

Nicely done* We keep working on this problem and educate enough why it is an issue I really believe one of these days we will be successful in replacing “Indian mascots” with something everyone can be fine with. I wish people weren’t so ignorant, but I guess thats what happens growing up in (not limited to but mostly) the United States.

Well done! I like the controversy on this mascot issue. It really shows how U.S. society can accept racism when the mind becomes desensitized to such old traditions. As a Native American I will always want respect for my culture.

It is nice to see that indiginous people are standing up and speaking out for what they believe in.
