OXEN001. Oxendine, Joseph B. “Indian mascots derogatory to Native Americans.” Charlotte Observer 10 March 1999. Publication type: Newspaper article Perceptive, concisely argued, and clearly written editorial
occasioned by Native American activists' attacks on Erwin
High School's (Buncombe County) use of a squaw mascot
for a girls' sports team. Oxendine discusses general
problems with Native American mascots and mentions
a few particular examples, such as those of the Florida
State Seminoles, the Washington Redskins, and the
Cleveland Indians. He explained the abolition of UNC-Pembroke's
Indian mascot. The school kept the name “Braves” for
its team but created a non-human mascot for the team, a
red-tailed hawk. UNC-Pembroke's logo is a red-tailed
hawk superimposed with a brave. This annotation was edited on: June 21, 2002 Home Page URL: lumbeebibliography.net |
