41. Native American Sports Mascots
    Stop using Native American cultures for sports mascots.

    Extractions: READ ABOUT THIS BOOK Brooks column for 3 Sep 2001 “We believe respect for self and others is foremost,” is a part of Vallejo High School’s vision statement. Beside that statement is a picture of an Apache Indian. They named the Apache for the school’s team name, logo and mascot. Does anyone see a contradiction there? As children we played the game of cowboys and Indians. Mostly everybody wanted to be the cowboys, because the game always ended with the Indians defeated and dead. Why did most American children believe those were the right rules for the game? Movies, television shows and cheap cowboy books about the old west taught them that it was not just okay, but good and honorable to kill Indians singularly and in groups. Glamorizing that wanton destruction of Native Americans and their culture was American cultural message about that group’s worth. The cowboys in those old movies spat out the word ‘Redskin’ as both an offensive name and a negative racist description for the indigenous people. The impact of those old film’s one-sided negative characterizations of Native Americans persist today. Americans were not satisfied to just destroy many of those Native American nations as functioning cultures. They continued to dishonor them by using them in logos, and as images of fierceness for amateur and professional sports teams. It is unconscionable that we citizens allow the sports team in our nation’s capital to call themselves “Redskins.”

    Extractions: November 10, 1999 Jackson uses teachings of the Lakota Sioux in his coaching. Hosted by Bob Ley from the National Museum of the American Indian in New York City, Outside the Lines: The Native American Sports Experience will look at the role sports play in the history and lives of Native Americans. Segments include: Phil Jackson Phil Jackson, the former Bulls' and current Lakers' coach, uses teachings of the Lakota Sioux in his coaching. He would burn sage to cleanse the team of negative energy and show game film intercut with clips from a movie about a Sioux warrior. Jackson says he decorated the Bulls' team room at the Berto Center with Native American artifacts to reinforce in the players' minds that their journey together each season was a sacred quest. Is he using these same coaching techniques with the Lakers? Rick Telander Leaving the reservation Many Native Americans find it difficult to leave their reservations particularly women, especially when they are teenagers or mothers. LeAnn Montes, a Chippewa Cree from the Rocky Boy reservation in Montana, is leaving her two-year-old daughter on the reservation to play basketball and pursue an education at the University of Montana. Three of the four seniors on her high school team had children when they won Montana's 1998 Class C State Championship. Many Native Americans are not able to adjust to living away from the reservation and return before receiving their college degrees. Montes says she needs a degree to leave the alcoholism and poverty of her reservation and create a better future for her and her daughter. - Kelly Neal

44. Inside Higher Ed :: Racism And Ignorance
    It is hard to have a serious public discussion about sports mascots American Indian sports mascots exist under a double bubble of mythological padding.

    Extractions: Views News Home Advertisement Aug. 9 By Carol Spindel Eighteen colleges are now on the mascot pariah list E-mail Print In Whose Honor? The mascot debate is actually the latest in a long series of battles over who controls American Indian culture. Since most of us never learned the history of white/Native relations in our country, the issue seems to have sprung out of nowhere. Until I wrote a book about sports mascots, I never knew the history of forced assimilation. But culture was as much a battleground as land. The U.S. government conducted a strenuous campaign to wipe out American Indian cultures, religions, and languages. American Indian children were forcibly taken from their families to boarding schools where they were physically punished if they spoke their tribal languages or tried to maintain their religious observances. In a country that prides itself on religious freedom, the First Americans had none until 1934. Before this, Native people faced sanctions even when trying to conduct ceremonies and dances on their own reservations. One of the few historical incidents many of us do know about, the tragic massacre at Wounded Knee, took place because American Indians were gathering to dance at a religious ceremony that the government was determined to suppress.

45. Editorial Matters

    Extractions: Ideas Vp Views Lincoln adopts new policy on Native mascots and nicknames Lee editors and newsroom staffs especially those in areas with significant Native American populations and history would do well to take a fresh look at the usage of Native mascots and nicknames in sports and other coverage. The Lincoln Journal Star recently announced a change in its policy, thoughtfully considered after the Native American Journalists Association called on news organizations to adopt restrictions by 2004. Kathy Rutledge, editor in Lincoln, asked Sports Editor John Mabry and News Editor Jim Johnson, a NAJA member, to develop a recommendation. After researching the issue, gathering readers' views and organizing a staff discussion, they recommended a change, as Kathy explains in the column below. This type of decision often engenders more debate in the newsroom than it does among most of the public but you'll find those with an opinion quite willing to share it.

    http://www.racismagainstindians.org/Resolutions/Resolutions_NAACP.htm
    
    Extractions: The National NAACP attendees of its 1999 Annual Convention voted unanimously and without debate for a resolution calling to reject the use of Native Americans, and all historically oppressed people and their cultural traditions, as sports mascots and symbols. This resolution was put forward by the Champaign County Branch of the NAACP of Illinois, to fulfill its April 22nd 1998 commitment to take such a resolution all the way to the National NAACP. Champaign County is home to Illinois' flagship University which still has an Indian mascot: "Chief Illiniwek". "We are pleased that the national NAACP has not just reaffirmed its position on the use of Native American names, symbols, etc. but has voted unanimously to call upon all chapters, members and friends to take personal action as well as join in coalition with others to eliminate these practices.", explained Imani Bazzell, Champaign County Branch Project Coordinator. "As a local chapter, it is now incumbent upon us to provide leadership and support to the national office and affected chapters around the country as they begin to implement the resolution", she added.

The Chief's fate shouldn't be decided by a vote... Sports are supposed to be fun, and neither they nor the ceremonies that surround them should cause distress. The university should rise above the Chief's supporters and detractors and ease him into retirement. Klein is a U.I. graduate (1959). Chicago Tribune , editorial titled "Retire The Chief", 3/7/01: By now board [of trustees] members should recognize that their athletic teams' controversial symbol has become too great a distraction... the University of Illinois is, after all, an academic institution. It is a fine one. Imagine how much better it might be if all that energy were focused on issues that actually enhanced the school's reputation.

It avoids the temptation of romanticizing resistance as well as easy, if not impulsive, condemnations. Instead, employing a neo-Gramscian and poststructural framework, it seeks to complicate prevailing understandings of sports mascots. It details the contours of imperial Whiteness and the competing efforts to reformulate Euro-American identity emergent in its wake. At the same time, it theorizes the awkward alliances often

July By the Rev. Alvin Deer* When the Rev. Kenneth Deere lost his bout with cancer on June 23, I lost a friend. On June 27, we celebrated his life at his home church of Salt Creek, a place he dearly loved. During his 27 years of serving in the Washington-based United Methodist Commission on Religion and Race, Kenneth would long for the simpler life of Salt Creek, in rural Holdenville, Oklahoma. It was a place he went many times to re-center himself before returning to the battle for equality and dignity for all Native Americans. Kenneth Deere was a veteran. Not only did he serve honorably in the U.S. Marine Corps, but he served on other front lines not that familiar to Americans. He was in Washington when the American Indian Movement took over the Bureau of Indian Affairs in 1972, and he offered assistance as clergy during the siege at Wounded Knee in 1973.

The logo of the Cleveland "Indians" is a buck-toothed, big-nosed caricature of a Native American. The University of North Dakota bookstore sells sweatpants with the word "Sioux" stenciled across the backside. For several years, a T-shirt graphically showing a Native American having sex with a buffalo has been worn by North Dakota State University fans. Yet some sports columnists still name anti-mascot activists as whiners and "fusspots." A little investigation reveals that people against Indian sports mascots truly aren't a tiny, whiny liberal minority. In a survey by Indian Country Today magazine, for example, 81 percent of respondents reported use of American Indian names, symbols and mascots are predominantly offensive and deeply disparaging to Native Americans.
