People say that mascots are offensive to the tribes, but I say that they aren't because It would be an honor to for a professional team or school to be named after you. If someone is honoring your tribe or name it would be a good thing for the Natives. This is why I think that schools or teams shouldn't change there mascots.

These Native Mascots are not trying to insult anyone! They made these school names to honor or Natives and past history. North Dakota University keeping fighting today to keep there nickname, of the Sioux tribe. Even a member or the Sioux tribe, Eunice Davidson, told the New York times, "I am very very honored that that they would use our name for there official school mascot." Not even the tribe member himself thinks that the mascots are insulting to the Native American Cultures.

I think that having a native mascot as a school name or a professional teams are good because I say and other people say it is honoring the Native American Culture. The Mukwonago school district was the first in the state to defend there schools nickname, the Indians. Also school officials argued that the name has been in place for 86 years. They say it has a deep meaning in the community.
