Students from Sherman High School in Riverside, CA, who are in the Future Farmers of America program traveled to the Indio Fair for the first time to showcase their goats and lambs. Several students placed in different categories. Congratulations to this group! #FFA #NativeEd

I want #NathanPhillips to be the only name that's remembered from today's ugliness. Nathan Phillips. Not the horde of bland, frightened, forgettable kids who'll grow up to be bland, frightened, forgotten adult wastes. Nathan. Phillips.

The Native American who apparently was being mocked by teens wearing MAGA hats in a viral video says he has "fear for those youth, fear for their future, fear for their souls, their spirit, what they're going to do to this country."

For all the right reasons, you don’t dress up in black face or white face or Middle Eastern guy. You don’t play Asian or Mexican or Arab man. But one race, one people, is still marketed as okay. Shame on @PartyCity and every racist-trope Halloween store like it.

History isn’t pretty and sometimes it is vastly different than what we’ve been taught, say the Smithsonian's Lonnie Bunch and Kevin Gover, who hosted a symposium entitled "“Mascots, Myths, Monuments and Memory,” over the weekend. @NMAAHC @SmithsonianNMAI smithmag.co/Gloae3
