Title
Initial Disuse of the Symbol
Description
The two newspaper articles from 1972, “DCAC To Eliminate Use of Indian Symbol” and “Native Americans’ Requests Honored,” announce some victories on the path to stop using the Indian symbol. “Nine and one half months after receiving the policy statement of the Native Americans at Dartmouth,” the College began the process of removing the symbol from stationary, uniforms, and changed Dartmouth’s nickname from the “Dartmouth Indian” to “Big Green.” Not all requests in the original policy statement, such as removing murals depicting Indians, were honored, and it would be several years until the symbol was completely disused on campus.
