Title
National Context of Native American Voices
Description
This article from the Wall Street Journal puts the removal of the symbol in a national context. Around the time of Dartmouth’s removal of the Indian symbol, other schools had moved to abolish similar symbols. Additionally, debates on changing the names of national sports teams that referenced Native Americans, such as the Washington Redskins, were occurring. Native American voices were finally emerging nationally and not solely at Dartmouth. Not all attempts were successful, and Stanford University still had a Native American man dance at games even after the symbol was abolished.
