Opinions vary, but a lot of Indigenous folks are making efforts to have these teams and mascots changed. Watch these three videos below, which present different perspectives on this issue, and write a 2-3 paragraph response in your learning journal: should team names like the Washington Redskins, which are accused of being racist and offensive to Indigenous peoples, be changed? Why or why not?
