CONGRATULATIONS TO COLUSA SCHOOL BOARD

Honor Indians Institute would like to congratulate the Colusa Unified School District Board of Education, in

California, for considering dropping the REDSKIN school mascot. The Board will most assuredly come under a great deal of criticism from those saying that the mascot is really meant to honor Indians and that the Board is surrendering to the politically correct crowd with nothing better to do than complain about little things like Indian mascots. At the end of the process, the Board may decide against dropping the mascot, but at least you deserve credit for raising the issue.

The bigger issue for Honor Indians Institute is that many of those professing a desire to “honor Indians,” through the use of Indian mascots, really have very little knowledge of historical or modern Indians. To the Indian mascot supporter: The goal of Honor Indians Institute is to educate. Our goal is NOT to end the use of Indian mascots, only the ignorance perpetuated by them. Please read our Indian Mascot link before you try to lump us in with the Indian advocate groups who want to end Indian mascots by litigation or legislation. At the very least, go to our Honor Indians store and get a poster or Indian Mascot Offset. We would be more than happy to visit your school district and put on a class and/or seminar. We are here to help.
