send page to a friend No Peace Pipe for 'Racist' Sports Mascots Campus Report Staff CHAMPAIGN-URBANA, IL Fed up with professional and collegiate sports teams appropriating Native American symbols and imagery in a "racist" manner, activists demanding an end to such practices coverged on the University of Illinois campus this spring. The first annual Conference on the Elimination of Racist Mascots (CERM) was held from April 3-4 and attended by hundreds. The gathering was sponsored by the National Coalition on Racism in Sports and the Media (NCRSM) and held in conjunction with a loose confederation of left-wing groups. The conference allowed activists an opportunity to develop new strategies and "empower" radical organizations in their struggle against sports mascots they believe demean Native Americans and other ethnic groups. Energized by recent triumphs—St. John’s University’s nickname, for instance, was changed from the Red Men to the Red Storm—conference-goers set their sights on the mascot of the University of Illinois, Chief Illiniwek. So far, however, attempts to ban the Chief—like a similar past effort to remove the "Minuteman" nickname from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst ("a racist, sexist white man with a gun")—have failed. Students, alumni, and state legislators have decried the proposal as the product of an overdose of political correctness.

25. Boycott Native American Mascots Editorial against racist sports mascots. http://hoffmanshome.com/native/mascot.html

Before you check out my site, check out this one! The Washington Redskins also come to mind. They have been my favorite team since I was a youngster. But "Redskins"? How is that OK? Was that ever more than a racist term used by whites that wanted Natives sent to reservations? Did natives ever think of themselves a Red? Not likely. The team name must be changed, just as sure as any other ignorant racist slang. Why is it that the average person I ask does not see "Redskins" as racist? Maybe because we've gotten used to it after hearing it so much. But do you really think that Native Americans have gotten used to it? Most likely, you have never even given it a thought. Unfortunately, Native Americans lack the resources of other minority groups to combat this ignorance. The reason they do is also completely misunderstood. But that is a topic that is even more difficult to tackle. Especially when people aren't even open minded enough to consider the mascot issue. The most complete site on the topic!

AMERICAN MOSAIC - Sports Mascots / Neil Armstrong / Music by Jen Chapin By Caty Weaver Broadcast: April 2, 2004 (THEME) HOST: Welcome to AMERICAN MOSAIC, in VOA Special English. (THEME) This is Doug Johnson. On our show this week: music by singer and songwriter Jen Chapin. We answer a question about a famous astronaut. And, we report about some wild creatures of the sports world... (THEME) Sports Mascots HOST: The calendar says April, but March Madness continues in the United States. March Madness is the name for the yearly championship series in college basketball. And as the teams play, some strange looking creatures perform for the crowds. Gwen Outen explains. ANNCR: A diamondback turtle larger than a man runs across the basketball court. Really, a man dressed as a turtle. He is not one of the players. He is Testudo, the official mascot of the Terrapins, the team from the University of Maryland. [Image Removed] (Image: www.umd.edu) A terrapin is a kind of turtle. There is a saying at the University of Maryland: "Fear the turtle." But basketball supporters love Testudo. Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary defines mascot as a person, animal or object used to represent a group, especially to bring good luck. The word dates back centuries to masca, Latin for witch.

Female Atheletes = Squaws NOTE: The Flint Journal (dated 9-9-97): Los Angeles - Brushing aside the pleas of some teachers, parents, and alumni to keep cherished traditions, the Los Angeles Board of Education voted to eliminate all references to American Indians in the names and images of school mascots. The 6-0 vote, followed by an American Indian victory drum ceremony, gives three high schools and one middle school a year to replace their current Indian mascots. AIM Arizona has endorsed this campaign... "We've been respectful of Indians and do not descecrate their imagery." "We try to stay away from the use of warpaint." "...imagery that promotes stereotypes is discouraged." "I may not be a native american but I sure am glad I am a Redskin" "I paint my face every year and I'm not making fun of them." "[Native Americans] should be glad we keep [tradition] alive. We give them respect by naming our school after them."

33. The Mascot Issue American Indian Sports Team Mascots activist resources and archives. Society of Indian Psychologists supports retiring of sports mascots Added 7/28/99 http://www.nativeculturelinks.com/mascots.html

THE MASCOT ISSUE Page created February 17, 1999; Last update - November 1, 2004 Maintained by Lisa Mitten This page is intended to be a compilation of web sites and writings on the issue of Indian mascots used by sports teams. Although some of these sites exist on other web pages that I maintain, I felt the time was right to compile these into one place in order to help people find them. As you may have heard, the U.S. Justice Department has sent a letter to Erwin High School in North Carolina notifying them that they intend to investigate charges of racial harassment as a result of their Indian mascot. This important action by the federal government as well as Susan Shown Harjo's Morningstar Foundation's lawsuit against the Washington Redskins' trademark of the redskins image are finally helping to build momentum among non-Indians to support us in this issue. The American Anthropological Association (AAA), the major professional organization for anthropologists and archaeologists working with Native peoples, PASSED an anti-mascot resolution at its business meeting on November 20, 1999, in Chicago. Inspired by the earlier action of the Society for the Study of the Indigenous Languages of the Americas , the resolution to be voted on by the AAA membership reads as follows: PART A: We, the members of the American Anthropological Association, call upon all educators and administrators of educational institutions to stop promoting the stereotypical representation of American Indian people through the use of sports mascots. The persistence of such officially sanctioned, stereotypical presentations humiliates American Indian people, trivializes the scholarship of anthropologists, undermines the learning environment for all students, and seriously compromises efforts to promote diversity on school and college campuses.

36. US Commission On Civil Rights Condemns Indian Mascots was first adopted or sports mascots it was not to offend Native Americans . and images as sports mascots will benefit not only Native Americans, http://www.iwchildren.org/resolution/usccr.htm

The United States Commission on Civil Rights Statement on the Use of Native American Images and Nicknames as Sports Symbols Issued: April 13, 2001 The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights calls for an end to the use of Native American images and team names by non-Native schools. The Commission deeply respects the right of all Americans to freedom of expression under the First Amendment and in no way would attempt to prescribe how people can express themselves. However, the Commission believes that the use of Native American images and nicknames in schools is insensitive and should be avoided. In addition, some Native American and civil rights advocates maintain that these mascots may violate anti-discrimination laws. These references, whether mascots and their performances, logos, or names, are disrespectful and offensive to American Indians and others who are offended by such stereotyping. They are particularly inappropriate and insensitive in light of the long history of forced assimilation that American Indian people have endured in this country. Since the civil rights movement of the 1960s many overtly derogatory symbols and images offensive to African-Americans have been eliminated. However, many secondary schools, post-secondary institutions, and a number of professional sports teams continue to use Native American nicknames and imagery. Since the 1970s, American Indians leaders and organizations have vigorously voiced their opposition to these mascots and team names because they mock and trivialize Native American religion and culture.

What does this mean? BlogThis! The Hedgehog Blog Political and social observations from two aspiring hedgehogs who love the Isaiah Berlin essay. Saturday, August 06, 2005 College Sports Mascots, Native Americans, and the NCAA According to the NCAA, this block "U" with a feather attached is an "offensive" logo. Apparently no one at the NCAA has asked the Native American tribe involved what they think, however. Now for a brief descent into triviality. Apparently the NCAA has decided that Native American "mascots" are no longer acceptable for its member schools. It also apparently does not matter whether or not the Native American tribe in question approves of the use of its name (which is the case with the Florida State Seminoles and my team, the Utah Utes). Read all about the NCAA action here I am somewhat ambivalent about all this, but above all I think we are witnessing political correctness run amok. In Utah's case the school gave up the offensive name "Redskins" in 1972. Since then the University has pretty much had an open offer to the Ute tribe: Any time you want us to stop using your tribal name, just tell us, and we will stop. The current Utah logo looks like the one above, right. It's approved by the Ute tribal council and should not be offensive to anyone even the NCAA.

39. News Article - Sports Mascots Dishonor Native Americans American Indian Movement List of Schools using racial mascots. http://www.aics.org/mascot/article1.html

http://www.aics.org/mascot/article1.html Sports Mascots Dishonor Native Americans "The pressure to stop the use of sports mascots that demean Native Americans continues to grow. The National Coalition on Racism in Sports and the Media is gathering at Urbana, Ill., this weekend to campaign for the elimination of Indian mascots and other stereotypes of Native American people. Urbana is home to the main campus of the University of Illinois, which has one of the most egregious sports mascots, Chief Illiniwek. Illiniwek doesn't hold a monopoly on Native American mascots, though. For example, there's Chief Wahoo of the Cleveland Indians, who runs about drunkenly at baseball games. Other offensive images include the Washington Redskins' logo and the ''tomahawk chop'' of the Atlanta Braves. Illiniwek claims to honor the Illini People of the Algonquin confederacy. However, the University of Illinois Web site states that the clothing worn by the mascot is actually Oglala Lakota Sioux traditional garb, made in 1930 by an''older Sioux woman ... and two younger women'' on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. Lakota elders reserve the ''war bonnet'' worn by the mascot for only the most honored and spiritual of Sioux leaders and consider it inappropriate for sports events.
