Indigenous Insert Regarding Racist Mascot Issue
We the undersigned concerned humans valuing honor and truth, implore all college and professional sports teams and their owners to insert factual information into their game day sporting event programs, an Indigenous Insert, which informs and educates fans – freeing them of their ignorance/racism - about the origins of “scalping”.
The barbaric act of “scalping” was inflicted upon Indigenous Red “Indian” Nations and Peoples by early Dutch and European pilgrims for monetary bounties, leading to the mass genocide of 98% the original 100 million innocent Red Souls who lived peacefully upon Great Turtle Island (misnomer “western hemisphere”; now called “Occupied Territory/United States”) prior to the 1492 Columbus invasion.
Blaming the victim should not be the typical response of those too guilty to admit any wrongdoing. Moving forward in truth and honor to rectify and make restitution, in the form of this Indigenous Insert for a period of seven (7) years, we urge any teams whose mascot/logo/team name disrespects, offends, or spreads racism against Indigenous Red Nations and Peoples to hereby cease and desist such ignorant and racist activity.
In Unity To Protect Grand Mother Earth,
Sincerely,
