My granny was 1/32nd Cherokee, so I am 1/64th from that side. That's not a lot, but whenever anyone asks my heritage, I always say I am part Indian. I don't feel politically incorrect for saying Indian, instead of Native American, because I am so proud to have Indian blood in me. I wish it were a lot more than 1/32nd and 1/64th. I am more proud of those few Indian drops than I am of any English drops. Because I am not full blooded Indian, does that mean my opinion doesn't count? Personally, I want all the native American mascots to be remain. They are an honor to the founders of our country. Braves were called that because they were so brave. Don't we want our kids to be brave enough to stand up for what they believe in? I would be proud to have that as my mascot. The mascot is supposed to be what the team emulates, right? Warriors - mighty fighters on the field. Braves - brave in the game, I don't understand what is wrong with that. I was a Dallas Dragon, then a George Fox Bruin. Boring! I would have rather been a Brave any day of the week!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
