"There is, however, an analogy that would be more helpful in understanding the issue involved in the use of the Indian mascot and nickname. This analogy takes into account the historical context of the relationship between Indians and Euro-Americans. Consider a team in Germany called the Auschwitz Jews. I will leave the costuming of the mascot to your imagination." 
- Rev. Dr. John W McNeill, Pa.

Whitehead wrote to the Lehighton School Board who use the name and Indian symbols - which Whitehead wants to change "this passive racism to an end." Lehighton uses an Indian "logo" and a school-spirit tomahawk campaign.  He also said, "Ask your children what an Indian looks like... what they do in our society today and you'll probably have references to tomahawks, tipis, eagle feathers and the like."    ---  Mark Steber, school board president, said "The Indian logo has been a tradition here since the district was formed. I went through the schools and didn't see anything offensive about it."  And "There are a lot bigger issues in education. We're not doing it to insult, but to honor."

"It is morally wrong to use an ethnic race as a mascot," said Robert Kelly, director of the South Carolina chapter of the American Indian Movement.

"To the native people, the mascot is a symbol of genocide," said Christine Rose, founder of Students and Teachers Advocating Respect and Against Racism. She also said that: It's a constant reminder to Native American students that their culture has been turned into a stereotype. For non-native students it teaches intolerance.

The Daily Herald   11/14/2001

Renewed by a lawsuit, the debate over Huntley District 158's Middle School Redskins mascot began to slowly gather steam again Tuesday night.
     The Illinois Native American Bar Association filed the lawsuit earlier this month, arguing the school's use of the mascot violates the United States' and Illinois' constitutions and the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
     The suit requests the district change mascots to something the association deems is not a racial slur and pay court and attorney fees.
     Just one person spoke out on the issue before board members went into a closed session to discuss the matter.
     The board was still meeting in private as of press time, but board member Gary Slagle said he did not expect any decisions to be made Tuesday.
     The issue already was the subject of hot debate this year.
     In April, the school board voted 4-3 to keep the Redskins name after siding with district students and alumni who defended it, and said it has been a part of Huntley athletics since 1928.
     The lawsuit, which the association threatened to file immediately after the board's decision, comes after a reported breakdown in negotiations between the board and the group.
     "I's like to see it stay," said Bob Kunz, a district parent. "The board has bent over backwards, and it hasn't been enough."
     Kunz told board members he thinks a court battle is not the way to go.
     "When change is forced from the outside it breeds anger and resentment."
     The board's April decision bucked a national trend abolishing American Indian mascots at schools and colleges.
     More than 1200 schools nationwide have either eliminated or changed their mascots, according to a National Coalition Against Racism in Sports and the Media. Across Illinois, an estimated 260 schools still have American Indian mascots, according to the group.

Change the Mascot: Pressure Grows for NFL Team to Drop Redskins Name and Logo as Thousands Protest

GUESTS

Clyde Bellecourt, co-founder and director of the American Indian Movement. He was a major figure in the occupation of Wounded Knee in 1973. Bellecourt is also an organizer with the National Coalition on Racism in Sports and the Media.
Dave Zirin, sports columnist for The Nation magazine and host of Edge of Sports Radioon SiriusXM. Zirin is the author of several books on sports, including, most recently, Game Over: How Politics Has Turned the Sports World Upside Down.

     
For decades, members of many American Indian communities have called on the Washington Redskins football team to change its name, which is based on a racial slur. Now the pressure has reached new heights. On Thursday night, nearly a thousand Native Americans and their allies protested outside the Metrodome Stadium in Minneapolis as the team played the Minnesota Vikings. Earlier in the day, Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton suggested members of Congress put pressure on the team’s owners by boycotting its games. On Tuesday, D.C. lawmakers voted to call on the team to change its name. Also this week, the Minnesota American Indian Movement took legal action to call on the state to refuse funding for the new Vikings stadium if the word "Redskins" will be used there. Despite the massive outcry, the team’s owner, Daniel Snyder, has refused to change its name. "The 'R' word is not different than the 'N' word. Little Red Sambo has to go," says Clyde Bellecourt, co-founder and director of the American Indian Movement and an organizer with the National Coalition on Racism in Sports and the Media. We are also joined by Dave Zirin, political sports columnist for The Nation magazine and host of Edge of Sports Radio. "The word 'Redskins' is a legacy of Jim Crow. It’s a legacy of the team’s original owner, George Preston Marshall, who was an arch-segregationist," Zirin notes. "The team was the last team to integrate in the NFL. When George Preston Marshall passed away in 1969, he put in his will that no money from his foundation could go to any organization that promoted [racial] integration."

TRANSCRIPT

This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form.
JUAN GONZÁLEZ: For decades, members of many indigenous tribes have called on the Washington Redskins football team to change its name, which is based on a racial slur. Now the pressure has reached new heights. Thursday night, nearly a thousand Native Americans and their allies protested outside the Metrodome Stadium in Minneapolis as the team played the Minnesota Vikings. Earlier in the day, Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton suggested members of Congress put pressure on the team’s owners by boycotting its games. This came after Washington, D.C., lawmakers voted Tuesday to call on the team to change the name.
AMY GOODMAN: Meanwhile, Minneapolis’s mayor released a statement Thursday saying the name disrespects indigenous people, and this week six members of the Minneapolis City Council sent a letter to the team’s owner and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell calling the nickname and team mascot racist. This groundswell of support comes as Bob Costas of NBC Sports spoke about the topic during half-time as he anchored a game when Washington’s team played last month.
