    Extractions: and Nicknames as Sports Symbols Issued: April 13, 2001 The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights calls for an end to the use of Native American images and team names by non-Native schools. The Commission deeply respects the right of all Americans to freedom of expression under the First Amendment and in no way would attempt to prescribe how people can express themselves. However, the Commission believes that the use of Native American images and nicknames in schools is insensitive and should be avoided. In addition, some Native American and civil rights advocates maintain that these mascots may violate anti-discrimination laws. These references, whether mascots and their performances, logos, or names, are disrespectful and offensive to American Indians and others who are offended by such stereotyping. They are particularly inappropriate and insensitive in light of the long history of forced assimilation that American Indian people have endured in this country. Since the civil rights movement of the 1960s many overtly derogatory symbols and images offensive to African-Americans have been eliminated. However, many secondary schools, post-secondary institutions, and a number of professional sports teams continue to use Native American nicknames and imagery. Since the 1970s, American Indians leaders and organizations have vigorously voiced their opposition to these mascots and team names because they mock and trivialize Native American religion and culture.

Everywhere there are Indian related events, there will be some sort of cartoon caricature and /or image depicting Indianness. Good or bad, each of us has the choice whether or not we want to have these images to be part of our daily lives. At powwows there are beaded / painted images of ndn mascots and / or both ndn cartoon caricatures. It is a way to show not all Native peoples take themselves so seriously. IT IS NOT ALWAYS IN MY INTEREST THAT INDIAN ACTIVISTS TRY TO MAKE ME INTO THEIR POLITICALLY CORRECT IMAGE. Fighting Illini-Indian mascot comes under fire by Native American representatives from AIM. Once I was at a meeting in Chicago during the 1980's at the American Indian Center. There was to be a discussion to organize getting rid of the Fighting Illini-chief-Indian mascot once and for all. But, the underlined purpose was to use the media to raise awareness of other Native American issues within the Chicago urban inner city. Not a bad strategy if it had worked.

American-Indian activists see a connection between the use of the name of a man considered a spiritual leader and the acceptance of Indian-related nicknames and mascots for sports teams, which they say range from the simply demeaning to the sacrilegious and together keep American-Indians from being considered on a level with other ethnic groups.

For the past several years, "Chief Illiniwek" has been a controversial figure on the campus of the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana. "Chief Illiniwek," named for the Illiniwek (or "Illinois") Indian Confederation dances at halftime of the University's football and basketball games. The current "Chief", Scott Brakenridge, is the current University of Illinois student who portrays the Chief. The "Chief's" regalia was obtained from the Sioux (Lakota) Indians. Although it is authentic "Indian" regalia, it is not authentic "Illiniwek" garb. And while the Lakota use(d) eagle feathers in their ceremonial bonnets, the bonnet of Chief Illiniwek is made with turkey feathers. Eagle feathers have spiritual significance to Native Americans. However, other Native nations used feathers from various birds for different purposes. American Indian students, led by Charlene Teters, have argued that the Chief demeans Native Americans with his performances. They contend that the Chief stereotypes Native Americans and freezes them into a primitive context. They further contend that mascots such as "Chief Illiniwek" are hurtful to Indian children and re-enforce negative stereotypes of Native Americans as uncivilized and wild. Defenders of "Chief Illiniwek" argue that the Chief is not a mascot at all but rather a proud symbol of the State's land grant university. They further contend that "Chief Illiniwek" does honor to the original Illiniwek people for whom he was named. They believe that the Chief helps to keep the memory of the Illiniwek people alive.

    Extractions: Ray Appleman defends the Indian mascots By Jim Gray The last time I spoke with Ray was back in 1998 and the Cherokees were in the thros of their constitutional crisis. I said it then as I do today that “It was a Cherokee problem and it deserved a Cherokee solution”. I was right. The Cherokees had an election and a new chief was elected. The election pretty much ended Ray Appleman’s point about Indians not being able to settle their own affairs. For those who don’t remember Ray, he claims part Indian, a true gentleman and totally fictitious. Last week at a rest stop on the highway, I ran into Ray again, this time he was looking a copy of the Oklahoma Indian Times and said he was glad we were changing our name and slapped me on the back and said, “Jim, I think you need to rethink your position on this mascot issue,” he said. I told him that around the country, schools and universities are taking down the sports logos that depict American Indian stereotypes, and I thought that was long overdue.

    Extractions: The National NAACP attendees of its 1999 Annual Convention voted unanimously and without debate for a resolution calling to reject the use of Native Americans, and all historically oppressed people and their cultural traditions, as sports mascots and symbols. This resolution was put forward by the Champaign County Branch of the NAACP of Illinois, to fulfill its April 22nd 1998 commitment to take such a resolution all the way to the National NAACP. Champaign County is home to Illinois' flagship University which still has an Indian mascot: "Chief Illiniwek". "We are pleased that the national NAACP has not just reaffirmed its position on the use of Native American names, symbols, etc. but has voted unanimously to call upon all chapters, members and friends to take personal action as well as join in coalition with others to eliminate these practices.", explained Imani Bazzell, Champaign County Branch Project Coordinator. "As a local chapter, it is now incumbent upon us to provide leadership and support to the national office and affected chapters around the country as they begin to implement the resolution", she added.

They are particularly inappropriate and insensitive in light of the long history of forced assimilation that American Indian people have endured in this country. It is particularly disturbing that Native American references are still to be found in educational institutions, whether elementary, secondary or post-secondary. Schools are places where diverse groups of people come together to learn not only the "Three Rs," but also how to interact respectfully with people from different cultures. The use of stereotypical images of Native Americans by educational institutions has the potential to create a racially hostile educational environment that may be intimidating to Indian students. American Indians have the lowest high school graduation rates in the nation and even lower college attendance and graduation rates. The perpetuation of harmful stereotypes may exacerbate these problems.
