Explain why or why not Mascots meant to resemble Native American people should be changed.

I think the msacots should be changed only if they didnt get permission from the Native Americans because I know for example,the Blackhawks got permission from the Native Americans but other teams didnt. If they dont change them, Native Americans and other people should at least be given an explanation as to why they chose their mascot and what it means/represents to them.

Should Native American people be given something in return for these mascots? Why?

They should be,if they dont get an explanation that they like,agree,or respect. I beileve this because you cant just use other people for something if you dont get their persmission and its not even like we know why they chose to use these symbols.

Do you think it would be important to you to change these mascots if a mascot was made of you? Explain.

Maybe,because first of all I would like to know the reason why they want to use me as their mascot and I would have to agree with it and I would want others to know the reason behind it as well. Otherwise,your just kind of using someone,at least in my opinion. Also I would like them to get my permission,not just have an explananation. If this all happend,the answer would be yes as long as I like their reasonong, but if all of this didnt happen,the answer would be no.

Should these teams and the government give Native Americans reparations? Why?

Yes,only if the Native Americans didnt agree with it because as I mentioned ealier,some teams did get permission and some didnt. If they didnt get permission,not only should the Native Americans get reperations,but they should also get a sincere apology not just a whole bunch of money for a “sorry”.
