    I have never had any experience with the “Indian Mascot” debate, in fact, I never really looked or had a deep thought about these issues. I think if someone is not first handed involved when it concerning these issues, him or her will not have any idea to what extent it hurts.

I think those teams and school should use the images and things that are associated with the town or what they represent instead of using images or names of another ethnicity.…

    There have been controversial and confusing stereotypes of Native Americans; this humorous, yet frank film helps clear up the whispering hearsay. This Native American agency shows how the Native Americans on the reservation treat one another versus how the white folks along the road trip treated them. Victor tells Thomas that white people always win; whether it was cowboys in their media or their family history from the past. Victor holds high respect for his culture, declaring things like “an Indian man ain’t nothing without his hair” or “you gotta look mean or people won’t respect you.” This is how they want to be perceived, giving an unconscious response to how they are treated.…
