Title

Explanation Requested by the Athletic Council

Description

This letter was written five years after the College officially removed the symbol. In the letter, the Native American Council mentions that nobody objected to the symbol until it was used for athletic home game jerseys in 1970. Coincidentally, use of the symbol by the sports teams on jerseys overlapped with the admission of more Native American students to Dartmouth, and both of these events likely contributed to the development of the 1971 policy statement.
