i need to state a few things about mr. mills that i feel may be incorrect. i went to his speech last teusday, and from what it sounds like, many of you did not. while he is against the use of native american nicknames and logos, that was not what his sole purpose was in speaking here. he spoke of perceptions of people, and how they produce stereotypes in both sides. he spoke of his father and himself living as a warrior, by taking responsibility for yourself and others, as well as the community you live in. he also made a very good argument on why he, as a native american, and using "warrior" or traditional beliefs is against the usage of the people as a mascot for sporting events or institutions.
i agree with bison mav in saying that he is someone who is an american icon, and should be treated with respect and looked up to.
please learn before you speak.
