Cheerleaders Dressing Like Natives is Not OK
Recently, the “Indianettes” drill team from Port Neches-Groves, Texas appeared at Disney’s Magic Kingdom, where they were dismayed to learn the park now has a policy preventing them from wearing their traditional headgear, a mockery of Native ceremonial war bonnets. That didn’t stop the team from sporting feathers in their hair and other offensive gear, or supporters from chanting “Scalp ‘em!”
Let’s flood Port Neches-Groves with emails telling them to change their name and stop with the offensive and harmful cultural stereotypes!

@anna_lillith As a proud native american I can say with confidence, neither me, nor the vast majority of Native Americans find this offensive. Obviously while there is plenty of racism worth focusing on this is not where white peoples focus should be, focus on the deplorable conditions at reservations and mistrestment of sacred land instead of wasting your time on stuff like this.
Thanks for caring though, but no thanks.
@freemo Being a native american about as much as you are, i think the invaders should give the stolen land back :-)
