Petition
continued from page 1
and the University of Utah Utes
use American Indian images as
team mascots.
The University’s law school is
part of a national effort to combat
the use of American Indian names
and images. Pending appeal, the
United States Patent and Trade
mark Office has revoked trademark
protection of the Redskin name and
logo, and the state of Utah has
banned the use of the name and
logo on vanity plates.
Rennard Strickland is dean of the
law school and author of “Tonto’s
Revenge,” a nonfiction work that
addresses the portrayal of Ameri
can Indians in the mass media.
The use of American Indian sym
bolism by collegiate and profes
sional athletic teams is based on in
grained social stereotypes,
Strickland said. When athletic fran
chises continually use these im
ages, they are further perpetuating
these stereotypes, he added.
“When people make decisions
about Native Americans, they
make those decisions based on out
dated, erroneous stereotypes,”
Strickland said. “Mascots of sports
teams are one of the key creators of
these false images.”

News brief
University of Wisconsin
students protest Illinois’ mascot
Reaching the Sweet 16 wasn’t
just an opportunity for the Illinois
men’s basketball team.
“We knew when they won in
the tournament, we had a chance
to protest their mascot,” said Ned
Blackhawk, assistant professor of
Native American History at the
University of Wisconsin at Madi
son. “When we knew they were
coming here, we started getting
things together.”
Blackhawk and 40 other students
involved in local American Indian
activist groups took advantage of
Illinois’ basketball success to
protest that university’s controver
sial Chief Illiniwek before Illinois’
Midwest Regional Semifinal game
against Kansas on March 22.
The mascot controversy hits clos
er to home on the Madison campus
than the other Big Ten schools. Res
olution 10-73 — passed by Wiscon
sin in 1993 — bans athletic teams
with Indian mascots from playing
Wisconsin in athletic events.
Illinois falls into a special clause
of the resolution, which allows in
conference teams with Indian mas
cots to breach the rule.
“The sentiments against racist
mascots are getting stronger and
stronger here,” said Amy Mundloch
of Blackearth, Wis., one of those
protesting on Friday. “Slowly we’re
starting to gain more support.”
