In this episode, Derek and Nathan are joined by Jacqueline Keeler to discuss Native mascotry in light of recent developments that such teams like the Washington football team, Edmonton football team, and Cleveland baseball team may finally change their racist names. Jaqueline Keeler is a Dine/Yankton Dakota writer and activist, co-founder of Eradicating Offensive Native Mascotry, and editor-in-chief of Pollen Nation Magazine editor of the collection Edge of Morning: Native American Writers Speak for the Bears Ears. Her work has appeared in a wide range of venues, including The New York Times, The Nation, HuffPost, Salon, NBC News.
Jacqueline explains what it means to understand the United States as a colonial society today and how Native mascotry sustains that project. She also takes Derek and Nathan through her own history as an activist on this issue and how that activism has laid the groundwork for the changes we appear to be witnessing. Finally, she connects the struggle against native mascotry to Black Lives Matter, crediting the current uprisings as the impetus for change.
