Long before whitey showed up Native American's had many mascots. When our land was taken and we were put on reservations that became sovereign Indian Nations, we created mascots keeping our traditions and culture. We were proud of this until Political Correctness starting teaching our youth to be ashamed of our mascots just like Christians taught our youth to be ashamed of our gods. The tomahawk has always been a mascot, and even part of a coat of arms as whitey isn't the only one to have those. The tomahawk chop used by the Seminoles, and now found everywhere, is nothing more than a rallying cry. For thousands of years when Native American's held competitions you found all types of mascots, and many types of rallying cries. Furthermore, white people never have a problem if I a red skin Chickasaw, dance in a line or square joining in, in their traditional fun, and some even giggle when I do an Irish jig. (to be continued)
