Also contact your representative in the House and tell them to honor tribal sovereignty:

Even if you don't reside in Oklahoma, please call your reps and tell them to vote no on any bill that threatens sovereignty or any reservation in Oklahoma.

We've been fighting mascots for over 50 years. We've reiterated over and over why they are so harmful. Read this new study! RT!

In 1992, the @NAACP passed a resolution condemning Indian mascots as a violation of the civil rights of Native people. Nearly 30 years later, we are still fighting the same battle.

#1 There needs to be more BIPOC representation across the board.
#2 Indigenous peoples are not even mentioned.
We are fighting mascots because the stereotypes and lack of contemporary representation are why we struggle with hyper invisibility.
Since the last study on sourcing diversity (based on 2015 data), @NPR racial and ethnic diversity for on-air sources declined. The percentage of sources of color decreased from 27% in 2015 to 20% in 2018.
Excluding Natives, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and First Nations peoples from diversity studies like this - no matter how small the percentage - directly contributes to our erasure. Mascots, exclusion in diversity studies, etc. are compounded issues.
People not Mascots!
✊✊✊
Ugh. We are not your mascots.

Attn Tulsa, Oklahoma, Union Public School alums, and/or folks who want to help eliminate Native mascots in OK, follow this account. Write letters to school boards. Share your stories of how negative representations of Natives affected your life. Demand that Union & TPS change.
Did you know that in the 1940s @NCAI1944 created a campaign to eliminate negative stereotypes of Natives in the media? Did you know that the fight to remove Native mascots was happening then too?
Stereotypical images and caricatures of Natives have been and continue to be wrong.
