Eliza Yellow Bird sits in bleachers surrounded by fans yelling nasty comments at the Fighting Sioux hockey team of the University of North Dakota. The 12-year-old tries to ignore the shouts, but every insult feels like a punch in the stomach.
"They'll yell, "The Sioux stink. The Sioux are losers, " says Eliza, who is Native American. "It makes me feel angry because it's like they're saying it against the Sioux tribe and all Indians."
Eliza is among thousands of Native Americans and others who are speaking out against sports teams that use Indian logos, nicknames, and mascots. They say that these symbols-along with "Indian" war chants and halftime dances-mock, or make fun of, their culture. They say that images of Indians wearing face paint and feathers are stereotypes. A stereotype is an overly simple picture or opinion of a person, group, or thing.
"Stereotypes keep people from seeing who Native Americans are today," says Christine Munson, co-chair of the Youth Indian Mascot and Logo Task Force, an organization fighting to get rid of Indian mascots and logos from Wisconsin public schools. "We don't live in tepees. We don't always walk around with feathers in our hair. We're police officers, lawyers, professors, and business owners."
