    July 6, 2020 VIA ELECTRONIC MAIL Roger Goodell, Commissioner National FootBall League 280 Park Avenue New York, NY 10017 [email protected] Dear Mr. Goodell, The undersigned are Native American leaders and organizations that have worked tirelessly and substantively for over half a century to change the racist name of the Washington team. We appreciate the statements made in recent days regarding the league and the team’s intention to revisit the name, But we are deeply concerned that the process or decision to rename is Being made in aBsence of any discussion with the concerned leadership. Specifically, we, the undersigned, request that the NFL immediately: 1. Require the Washington NFL team (Owner- Dan Snyder) to immediately change the name R*dsk*ns, a dictionary defined racial slur for Native Peoples. 2. Require the Washington team to immediately cease the use of racialized Native American Branding By eliminating any and all imagery of or evocative of Native American culture, traditions, and spirituality from their team franchise including the logo. This includes the use of Native terms, feathers, arrows, or monikers that assume the presence of Native American culture, as well as any characterization of any physical attributes. 3. Cease the use of the 2016 Washington Post Poll and the 2004 National AnnenBerg Election Survey which have Been repeatedly used By the franchise and supporters to rationalize the use of the racist r-word name. These surveys were not academically vetted and were called unethical and inaccurate By the Native American Journalist Association as well as deemed damaging By other prominent organizations that represent Native Peoples.

An Instagram favorite, the exhibition helped the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden attract more than 10,000 new members in 2017 alone. Front Cover: In artist Yayoi Kusama’s The Obliteration Room, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden invited visitors to obliterate an entirely white space with multicolored polka-dot stickers. The installation is part of the museum’s blockbuster exhibition Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors, which is touring five North American cities through 2019. A ROAD MAP TO OUR FUTURE A ROAD MAP TO he year 2017 was successful for the Smithsonian by any measure. Our curators opened insightful and inspirational exhibitions. Our scientists continued to do T groundbreaking research that benefits humankind. Our educators are reaching more people than ever before with compelling programming. The years-long, Smithsonian-wide campaign soared past its goal, setting up success for decades to come. This annual report is a terrific opportunity to look back and recognize all of these impressive achievements and many more brought to life by the Smithsonian’s dedicated and talented staff and volunteers. But while it is important to reflect on the past year, we must also redirect our eyes from the rearview mirror to the road that lies before us.

  • Does Cultural Appropriation Cause Harm?
    Does Cultural Appropriation Cause Harm? Dianne Lalonde, Western University, [email protected] Politics, Groups, and Identities Online First (Oct 2019) Please cite published version. Abstract: Cultural appropriation is often called a buzzword and dismissed as a concept for serious engagement. Political theory, in particular, has been largely silent about cultural appropriation. Such silence is strange considering that cultural appropriation is clearly linked to key concepts in political theory such as culture, recognition, and redistribution. In this paper, I utilize political theory to advance a harm-based account of cultural appropriation. I argue that there are three potential harms with cultural appropriation: (1) nonrecognition, (2) misrecognition, and (3) exploitation. Discerning whether these harms are present or absent offers a means of placing specific instances of cultural appropriation on a spectrum of harmfulness. I conclude by considering how cultural appropriation, and associated appropriative harms, may be avoided. Keywords: cultural appropriation, culture, cultural property, recognition, exploitation, mascots, multiculturalism Indigenous imagery and names have long been appropriated in the production of mascots, logos, and company names, and there is a similarly extensive history of Indigenous Peoples fighting against these appropriations. As early as 1968, the National Congress of American Indians “began a campaign to address native stereotypes found in sports and media” (as quoted in Black 2002, 605). Sports teams appropriating their names and mascots from Indigenous Peoples is still commonplace though, and includes the Washington Redsk*ns, Edmonton Eskimos, and Cleveland Indians. In particular, the Washington Redsk*ns derive their name from a colonial term wherein Indigenous Peoples were labeled “red” as a racial identifier and it is commonly considered a racial slur.

  • From Redmen to Minutemen: the University of Massachusetts and Its
    2 Historical Journal of Massachusetts • Summer 2020 LEFT: UMass Amherst sports teams were called the Redmen from 1947 to 1973. RIGHT: !is photo of Ojibwe Chief Little Shell (c. 1830- 1901) was used as the model for the present-day seal of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. !e modern seal was designed by Edmund H. Garrett, a well- known 19th-century illustrator. In 1895 he was charged with creating a standardized design for the state seal. According to Garrett, he selected Little Shell’s portrait as his model because “he was a "ne specimen of an Indian.” In addition, although his tribe was based in Montana, the “Ojibway belong to the great Algonquin family of which the Massachusetts [Indians] were also members.” Photo c. 1892. 3 From Redmen to Minutemen: The University of Massachusetts and Its Mascot RobeRt e. WeiR Abstract: Today’s University of Massachusetts at Amherst began as the Massachusetts Agricultural College and admitted its !rst class in 1863. Early sports teams bore no o"cial nickname but were informally called the “Aggies.” In the 1880s administrators dubbed the sports teams the Statesmen, although students seldom used it; “Aggies” remained the name of choice. In 1928 an unsuccessful search began for a new team name and mascot. In 1931, when the institution was renamed the Massachusetts State College, school o"cials inherited a querulous debate over mascots which lasted years. In 1947 the college was rechristened the University of Massachusetts and students !nally voted and agreed on a new team name, the Redmen. A new mascot, the semi-mythical Metawampe, followed.

  • Study of American Indian Representation in Public Schools
    Colorado Commission to Study American Indian Representations in Public Schools Meeting Agenda Indian Education – Title VI Friday, September 30, 2016 12:45pm – 1:15 Co-Chair Darius Lee Smith, Navajo/Black In 2015, Gov. Hickenlooper created the "Commission to Study American Indian Representations In Public Schools" to support constructive community dialogue in order to find cooperative and create solutions to the debate over the continued use of cultural mascots. The addition to hosting public meetings, the Commission will also explore the manner that images and names are perceived, gather information from affected school districts, and engage with American Indian representatives to guide discussion on the potential offensive nature of these images. The Commission's final objective will be to create a list of recommendations on how to move forward on this issue to present to the State. Ideas for Recommendations Heard So Far: Resource guide for schools Set of protocols that schools with cultural mascots are encouraged to adhere to and/or tribally approved criteria Advocacy for strengthened American Indian history in Colorado Loveland High School - January 14, 2016 Strasburg High School - February 17, 2016 Lamar High School - February 25, 2016 Eaton High School – March 10, 2016 My Perspective ~ Navajo/Black Urban/Reservation Activism & Athlete & Advocacy Privilege Personal Paradigm Work in the Indian Community & Academic Credentials Ray Halbritter, Oneida Nation Representative and Nation Enterprises CEO May 2013, Washington NFL team owner, Dan Snyder insisted he would not change the Redskins name and that his stance could be put in all capital letters.
