|
... the exception is when it comes to sports teams and their mascots, then they are “Redskins”, “Warriors”, “Chiefs”, and in Loveland, Colorado they are the “Indians”. ... During the football seasons of 1919-1924, there is no mention of a mascot for LHS though other mascots for other schools are routinely named. ... ” Francie, a member of the Cherokee Nation, responded with, “Well…there’s a huge number of us saying that you using us as your sports mascot is offensive” (Coleman, Mascot). ... Another example used in response to the idea that the mascot is honoring them, is the feeling of many Native Americans that they are being placed in the same category as mascots like the Wildcats, the Bears and other animals, thus equating them to animals. ... The Thompson School District, of which LHS is part, and the Community Diversity Council drafted a memorandum to explain their position on the use of Native Americans and their religious and cultural symbols as mascots. In it they directed both Loveland High and another local school to “initiate the process to replace the name and imagery of their…mascots so as to better support their commitment to the provision of a meaningful and safe…learning environment for their students” (Kirschling, Diversity).
