The mascot issue for American Indians is on the table and being discussed at length. This discussion rarely, if ever, has Native people weighing in. Most media is saying we're not complaining, there isn't enough of us, or that we're somehow extinct. This is not true.

I am compiling submitted videos into one big video to illustrate that there are an enormous amount of Native people who are still here and who are opposed the Native people being used as mascots.

Are you Native? Want in? Shoot a video however you want or can with the following:

Your name
Your tribal affiliation
the following statement: I am not a caricature or a mascot. I am a human being. Change the name.

send the video via email to me at changethename2013@gmail.com.
