This resolution calls on the Secretary of Education to collaborate with Tribal Nations, Native American groups, and public schools to immediately eliminate race-based Native logos, mascots, and names from State educational institutions across the United States, especially those receiving Federal funds. The resolution highlights that over 1,900 kindergarten, elementary, and secondary schools nationally inappropriately use such harmful names and symbols, which negatively impact Native American youth. It emphasizes that academic studies show these stereotypical images lead to a consistent negative reaction among Native students, reminding them of limited perceptions and restricting their self-view, while boosting non-Native youths' self-esteem. The resolution further urges State educational institutions and national sports franchises to cease the unsanctioned use of these race-based Native logos, mascots, and names. This action is intended to overcome stereotypes, raise the self-esteem of Native students, and ensure they have equal opportunities without discrimination.
