Some Native Americans do not like the term Native American. Explain why they reject this name.

They don’t like the name because they say “we are American too!”.

One person in the BBC Video said that living in poverty does not mean they are poor. What do you think he meant by that?

Maybe he meant that they are living in a poor place but they are not poor.

Some Native Americans approve of the team name Redskins. What is their reason for approving this name while others do not?

They approve the name because they said that a long time ago, there was a team with Native Americans in it and they all agreed to be called that, but some people were saying “this isn’t back then this is the present”.

In the CNN segment, there was a story told about a woman who used to approve of the name Redskins, and now does not. What changed? Why does she no longer approve of the name?

She was OK with the name at first but she changed her mind because now the mascot isn’t how Native Americans are, but people think that that is how they are.

How can non-Native people help others learn about Native Americans current issues? What can we do to help?

They can learn about them by talking to them but not basing them off of what they know about the mascots. We can help by telling our family or friends not to base Native Americans off the mascots.
