THE QUESTION:
Considering the genocide committed upon Native Americans, the stereotypical images of the “Indian” that is a fixture in the US media, their virtual exclusion from the history books in schools. and their socio-economic status of poverty to date, are Native American team mascots in American Schools and Sports teams honoring Native American Peoples?
Or, do such logos and mascots further the vicious cycle of prejudice and discrimination against them as does say confederate flags and stereotypical images of blacks, Latinos and women that are extant in American media and society? What do you think?
Lastly, according to our course material, who are Billy Mills and Charlene Teeters? Who are more contemporary leaders in this movement? Will they win this battle? Why or Why not?
According to Siskind, what really occurred that gave rise to the current myth of that first “thanksgiving” in US society. Is her argument compelling why or why not?
Lastly, remember you must use a current source (beyond those provided in the canvas module/ one that you locate and include) to bring the discussion current. This article that you will choose must be current 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and use it to support your ideas, concerns, or views for how to resolve this contemporary social issue.
Remember: Cover page/ slide and Reference page/ slide are needed, max of 13 slide requirement ).
Use the criteria in reflection grading rubric, and follow the rules for avoiding plagiarism found in your syllabus.
