Posted on February 25, 2008 - Filed Under MASCOTS THAT HONOR, Indian Mascots | 3 Comments
We have heard from Loup City about our proposed “new” Red Raider mascot, and apparently you are not too thrilled about it. We have another option for your consideration, which incorporates your existing mascot, but more culturally appropriate. Loup City is a predominately Polish community. We have “morphed” your existing mascot […]
RED RAIDERS

It has been a month since Honor Indians Institute first introduced an alternative “Mascots that Honors” for the Loup City, Nebraska Red Raiders.

TO LOUP CITY PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT
I would like to publicly respond to the good people of Loup City, Nebraska, specifically to Kaleb, who I hope to meet some day. Kaleb has questioned my opinion that the Loup City “Red Raider” Indian mascot is the “MOST RACIST INDIAN MASCOT” in Nebraska, and most likely the […]

Honor Indians Institute would like to introduce an alternative to the Broken Bow, Nebraska High School Indians, and the Broken Bow, Oklahoma High School SAVAGES, the BROKEN BOW BUFFALO!

Honor Indians Institute offers an alternative Indian mascot to Haskell Indian Nations University, home of the “Fightin’ Indians.” Rather than perpetuate the negative stereotypes of the past, tribal schools should be promoting the positive aspects of their history and future.

Honor Indians Institute would like to introduce a series of alternatives to Indian school mascots. One justification for Indian mascots is that Indian or tribal schools often use Indian mascots. For example, here in Nebraska we have the Omaha Nation Chiefs, Winnebago Indians and the Santee Sioux Warriors. The Ponca Tribe does […]
