Yes. It is time to stop past time we did stop and deeply apologize for deeply hurting not just one, but generations of souls. There are so many other things that can be used as mascots. Walk a mile in redface. Talk a week with a group that's not your own. Learn and help make this world a heaven it could be instead of the crazy he'll it seems

THIS! "Dysconscious Racism: so far removed from the reality of daily tribal life that the individual does not know they have a distorted view."

Respect to you Cornel Pewewardy---You stand. represent and share to educate all with honor---Good Medicine! Until we meet again brother, J.C. E.

Excellent discussion. Love your neighbor as yourself for we are all one human race.

It is often said that we should love one another as ourselves. I’ve said it with good intentions. Despite the proclamation of love, I notice that there sure is a lot of poisonous, toxic “love” killing people.

Great Speech and Hopefully an Eye Opener for some to Understand the issue of these Mascots,.......thnx,

It's great when academia backs up what advocates have been saying this year! So excited to have found this! I heard about this a bit, but had forgotten-so busy. The comments about how this is "narrow minded" know about narrow minds, the live there. I guess for people to grow up, like me, in Indian Country with such non-racist multicultural diversity it must be hard to grapple with such a foreign concept. They can't see a world without racism?? Idk but that's sad. I was talking about the abolishment of this "two worlds" concept last week and that is something that we must refute at every level!

Growing up in OK, I had not experienced bigotry and racism until I moved to MS. What a culture shock! I was excited to move to my tribal homeland. But even with the MS Choctaws here, I could scarcely find any legacy of the Chickasaws/Choctaws. We ARE the Halluci Nation.

The US shocked me me again. Why aren't teams given names of towns, professions, natural attractions? For example, in my country a team from Pyatigorsk is called Mashuk, and a team from Krasnoyarsk is called Yenisei because these are natural attractions in those cities. Many teams are given names of big plants where they were organized - Arsenal, Dynamo. It's so simple and understandable!

Good word, brother.

Education to heal the past strengthen the people of indiand so important to grow.

Sometimes i have mental and physical issues being alive due to my blood line

I have a multi-collective bloodline but i keep my Cherokee Choctaw native Indian first and #1 in my hart and love towards all people i was born in a small house in sisters oregon and its a very nice place but a lot of negative people controlling everyone

Thank you cornel pewewardy i bow to you and wish I could hug you and shake your hand

We have a long way to go.

GOOGUUK thats what they are my friend ,that is a mascot word in my firstnation langauge for them.this will never happen my brother ,they cant and wont .this will bring an understanding of our treaties and the real lawful rights of the agreements and deals of the lands we have .

Word -Hospitality-study the word i.And Human it is the only , forget culture.🧐

I always say "Walk a Mile in My Siteoletoes" - Maybe this is the Native American Version of that

Is there any culture or people anywhere on this planet who are not descendants of colonizers?

Happy Thanksgiving Day.

The irony- a Native American calling himself Indian and thereby perpetuating Columbus’ fallacy

You are deal with species . Good and bad. The existence of the Atoms.🧐?

Moundbuilders? Those mounds are so old, some believe those predate "Indians". Had no idea that name was some group's mascot. So, should Europeans claim race card, if some group of "Indians" call their mascot "Castlebuilders"? In the 1950's, even some in the early 1960's, kids could often be witnessed "playing cowboys and Indians"; but by the late '60's, not much. By then, kids mostly stopped that game. By then, adults were appropriating bits of "Indian" as part of their woo-woo [of many kinds]. If characters in films make good effort to portray their own roots, yet get castigated by people like this man, as well as castigated by the opposite camps, maybe that speaks to good progress in better representation...so including Startrek in his presentation, as offensive, seems to forget that show is FICTION..a story..including fictitious characters that may or Not represent anyone living now. His wish to have better education ops for all, and placing Indigenous people on school boards and such...Very good as long as those are educated. I've seen that go poorly, if the individuals are uneducated, and heavily imprinted with certain extreme Christianity dogmas. Some cautions or caveats may be appropriate, not to just place anyone because of race....that wreaks of hollow racial quotas..just as bad as discrimination. But just take the talk here, for the gist of what's needed...good direction.

Lol shut up. He's only complaining about white people portraying native people in movies. There are indians actors out there, why don't invite them to play their own roles? Because they need the "white star" to make the movie popular. The same white who robbed them of their culture. Can't you see the hypocrisy here?

@@DerJulia Yeah...I used to think similarly--why don't studios hire non-white actors....but that is not the case, now. Plenty of non-white actors HAVE been active in the industry, the last 20 or so years...though the way actors have been portraying minorities has been slow to improve--so, on that single count, that kind of discrimination has fairly gone from acting. However, the industry has not entirely been scrubbed of the need to stereotype certain ones--there have still continued to be [though far less] wicked stereotypes of pretty much all "races". The old-guard in the industry have seriously dragged their feet at improving the lot of actors of all kinds, unless one becomes a sudden "star", who gets well-treated, but only once they have achieved a significant monetary value...that triggers execs to treat them nicer in some ways, and to back-off their old abusive handling. There ARE Native actors who have been cast in roles appropriately...more all the time. Bottom line, Natives have been treated worse even, than blacks --at least a rung lower, or worse. So, now there have been more movies featuring them...really, all kinds of people...more appropriately--its a treat that showbiz has been missing for literally hundreds of years--longer, really. Slower to adjust than even studio execs though, is the general population, in which factions of certain people cannot understand that "race" is a human invention, and the cruelty they feel entitled to commit upon "others", is Also their own invention--they were TAUGHT to treat "others" bad, to help themselves feel better about themselves...which is fiercely dysfunctional in too many ways to list.

@@ametrineambrosia4929 LOL! Maybe there should be! ...no....not castle-builder mascots...but how about picking some other white-stereotype that has connotations? Say, mascots that look like the Kentucky fried colonel, or some war-hero man from WW2? I find it strange that people in general have allowed themselves to have their opinions of things driven by media, which has routinely, chronically and malfeasantly in many cases, pushed public to think something is bad or good. For instance, it seems hard to understand how using an image of a respected chief, as mascot for a ball team, is a bad thing? But it's understandable that using a cigar store Indian out front, is bad. Who is really driving these arguments, and, why are the arguments being fomented out of triggering people's fears? It's almost like that show about the guy living in a world he though was real, but he was instead, the main character in a sicko experiment--without his knowledge or consent--"The Truman Show"? .
