Washington State Wants Schools to Ban Native American Mascots. If the Washington State Board of Education has its way, high schools across the state will no longer count Warriors, Braves, and Redskins among their mascots. The state board passed a resolution last Wednesday encouraging districts to stop using Native American mascots, according to ABC affiliate KOMO-TV, in Seattle.
While the history of colonization and marginalization is not unique to the Americas, the practice of deriving sports team names, imagery, and mascots from indigenous peoples is a significant phenomena in the United States and Canada.he list below for U.S. High Schools however remains substantial, with over 400 teams currently calling themselves Indians, over 100 Braves, 74 Warriors using indigenous imagery (there are many with the name but using generic, Greek or Roman mascots), and 56 Redskins.
