One of my childhood friends changed her FB profile picture to a savage, stereotypical image of an Indian in a war bonnet. So this was my response when she said she saw nothing wrong with it. Let me just say that being a Native American, mascots are a very sensitive topic. Most people do not realize that many native images used as mascots are not used in context. Wearing a war bonnet like in this image is not right. Getting to wear a war bonnet is a great honor to only certain people in the tribe and not all tribes have them. It would be like a Native American school having a white, fat housewife with a boob job as a mascot. It is just a stereotypical image that does not represent the students of that school. I mean is your school located on a reservation or in suburban location. Think about the image of your community. Lets talk about who the savages really were.... How many Native Americans were killed due to disease brought over by Europeans. Mass genocide all in the name of God, Gold & Country.
