"At best, you're reducing someone's identity to the color of their skin. At worst, it recalls a history where 'redskin' was the scalp of a Native American, hunted for bounty and given as proof of his killing, since it was easier than transporting a body." said * John Kane, 

* John Kane is a local host of the weekly "Let's Talk Native" show on WWKB radio. 

"I have always been a Chiricahua Apache, and the only reason I know that is because that's what my family told me. Your grandmother tells you something, you're going to believe it," said * Mark One Wolf Yancey.

* Mark "One Wolf" Yancy, who's ethnic heritage has been called into question by many anti-Native mascot activists, though Yancey continues to speak out FOR the Native population, and even has established a pro-Native mascot Facebook page, and being one of the leaders for the argument to keep the Native-themed images, names and sports.

While there were, at the time of this posting, no comments made about John Kane, there were three about Yancy.

And this one regarding Apaches.
