Title
Native American Students’ Policy Statement
Description
This policy statement, written in 1971, was the first formal declaration by Native students that the “various traditions and symbols used by the Dartmouth Community are based upon insensitivity to the culture of Native American Peoples.” Believing the symbol was “a mythical creation of a non-Indian culture,” the Native American students requested that the College remove any depiction of Indians from campus and stop using the Indian as a mascot.
