Complaint
Asks U.S. Department of Education to End Use of American Indian Mascots
Number of "Indian" sports team tokens -Approximately 61
Most frequently used "Indian" token - "Indians" (29)
Instances of "Redsk*ns" nickname use - 4
Quick mascot facts on the State of Michigan:
Renewed efforts in 2000/2001 seek to address use of the egregious "Redsk*ns" nickname by Milford High School in Highland and include an online petition. The controversy first arose at this school in a 1997 effort led by an American Indian student.
In 1988, the Michigan State Civil Rights Commission issued a report on nicknames, logos and mascots depicting Native American people in Michigan education institutions.
Eastern Michigan University, located in Ypsilanti, Michigan, changed its "Huron" nickname and logos to the "Eagles" in 1991.
Marquette High school in the upper pennisula elects to drop its "Indian" logos in 1999.
