testified during those sessions about how Native-themed school mascots, imagery, team names, and customs (Native-themed MITC) harm all students, especially Native. 2. Students, by perpetuating negative stereotypes, encouraging bullying and teasing, interfering
with selfidentity, and creating unhealthy learning environments. 3. Among its recommendations, the report called on the U.S. Department of Education (Department) to consider providing information about the potential such mascots and team names have to create
a divisive environment for Native students.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
