Victory lap tonight on the track at Hart Park in Wauwatosa celebrating today's U.S. Patent Office rebuke of the Washington R*dskins team name. #ProudToBe Menominee, Ojibwe, Anishinaabe, Stockbridge-Munsee-Mohican, Oneida, Potawatomi, Ho-Chunk, and Bad River together to say we are #NotYourMascot #NFL

"When the status of a Native American is demoted to that of a caricature, we are objectified and diminished as a people. We become entertainment, not fellow citizens. How are you supposed to take me seriously if all you see is the stereotypical image of the Hollywood or sports mascot Indian?"

- Simon Moya-Smith
