People Not Mascots - Racism and Native American Imagery

 

Controversy continues across the commonwealth over the use of Native American images for school mascots. 

The town of Wakefield voted to keep their mascot after the school committee voted to get rid of it over concerns the warriors logo was offensive to Native Americans. 

I spoke with tribal leaders about that vote and a push at the statehouse to ban the use of Native American mascots in all Massachusetts communities.
