101. 3062: In Whose Honor: Indian Mascots In Sports And Advertising - UUA General Ass
     to the World. General Assembly 2001 Cleveland, OH ~ June 2125. In Whose HonorIndian mascots in sports and Advertising Planning Committee Sponsored.

     Extractions: Dr. Charlene Teters opened her standing-room-only workshop with a video clip from ABC Evening News with Peter Jennings which aired on 10 October 1997, in which she was featured as "Person of the Week." The clip showed her being interviewed about her activism in the fight against the ongoing use of Indian mascots, and featured many images of these mascots in use. Elaborating in great detail on the remarks she gave during the GA's opening ceremony, Dr. Teters described her background as a Spokane Indian, and the history of her family. She emphasized the significant oppression faced by her forebears, who had to take their culture, their language, and even their names underground at the turn of the century when white authorities came. "My grandparents were forced to choose their new names out of a hat. The choices were only those of biblical names and names of presidents. So my grandmother became Nancy Moses. We call these 'Hat Names.' "My grandmother was a storyteller," she continued, "and in that time she was forbidden to share the stories or use her own language. Our language best translates our word for 'storytellers' as 'keepers of the sacred truth,' which gives only a small hint of the extreme importance of this role in our culture. It's how we have always communicated our culture to our children, through stories.

     Extractions: And you thought base jumpers, coal miners and NFL wedge busters had it rough. When Edmonton Oilers coach Craig MacTavish tore out the tongue of Calgary Flames mascot Harvey the Hound a few weeks ago, it was yet another reminder that the life of a sports mascot is anything but warm 'n' fuzzy no matter how warm 'n' fuzzy their costumes happen to be. To the contrary, our fur-covered clowns inhabit a dog-eat-hound world, a black-and-blue realm of bumps, bruises and taking it on the foam-covered chin. Harvey the Hound was speechless when Craig McTavish got through with him. Among other places. "A lot of mascots have stories about getting hit in the 'nads," said Dr. Edward McFarland, director of sports medicine and shoulder surgery at Johns Hopkins and the author of a study on mascot injuries. "That's just about the right height for kids to punch. They think they're aiming for the stomach. But they're not." Just ask Paul Pierson. A mascot with the Atlanta Braves and the Harlem Globetrotters, he's endured more between-the-legs near-misses than he cares to remember along with a broken hand, pulled neck muscles, bruised ribs and muscle cramps worthy of the action on the field, never mind the sidelines.

103. Indian Mascots

     http://www.angelfire.com/art/skyhawkfireheart/june19.html
     
     Extractions: all around the world. "SkyHawk with Ronaldo 'do" "I am not your Indian: Sports mascots do no harm to the American Indian Movement". Everywhere there are Indian related events, there will be some sort of cartoon caricature and /or image depicting Indianness. Good or bad, each of us has the choice whether or not we want to have these images to be part of our daily lives. At powwows there are beaded / painted images of ndn mascots and / or both ndn cartoon caricatures. It is a way to show not all Native peoples take themselves so seriously. IT IS NOT ALWAYS IN MY INTEREST THAT INDIAN ACTIVISTS TRY TO MAKE ME INTO THEIR POLITICALLY CORRECT IMAGE. Fighting Illini-Indian mascot comes under fire by Native American representatives from AIM. Once I was at a meeting in Chicago during the 1980's at the American Indian Center. There was to be a discussion to organize getting rid of the Fighting Illini-chief-Indian mascot once and for all. But, the underlined purpose was to use the media to raise awareness of other Native American issues within the Chicago urban inner city. Not a bad strategy if it had worked.

104. Sports--mascots
     sports, 12/19/03. Anonymity in a sweaty suit, yes, but being a sportsmascot has its upside. By Jake Moon. He s the one fan that arrives  
     http://www.hardnewscafe.usu.edu/archive/dec2003/1219_mascots.html
     
     Extractions: He's the one fan that arrives at every event early and always leaves late, yet no one really knows who he is or what makes him tick. Nor will they, because anonymity has kept him silent. "I believe [Big Blue] is one of the largest, most positive images at Utah State," Zimmerman said. "Everybody know who Big Blue is." The irony is that while the Big Blue character is a very prominent image at USU, hardly anyone actually knows who the man is inside the suit. Zimmerman said she does her best at USU to keep the identity of Big Blue a secret because she doesn't want it to affect his regular life. "It is important to keep it a secret because the person in the suit wants to be able to live a regular life and be a regular person," she said. Big Blue's popularity hasn't always been the case, though. When Zimmerman used to cheer for the USU squad she and the other cheerleaders used to ride around on a big, white bull named Gus.

106. SU Athletics - SU's Mascot, "Otto", And Fight Song
     How Otto the Orange Got His Name. In the early 1980 s it was time againto look for a new sports mascot. Several cadidates were taken  
     http://www.suathletics.com/sports/gen/2001/mascot.asp
     
     Extractions: SU's Mascot, "Otto", and Fight Song Fight Song The Saltine Warrior, an Indian figure named Big Chief Bill Orange, was born in a hoax published in The Syracuse Orange Peel, October 1931. The remains of this 16th century Onondagan chief were supposedly found in the excavations for the new women's gymnasium in 1928. In 1951, the Senior Class commissioned a statue of the Saltine Warrior to be placed near the discovery site. The students of the famous Croatian sculptor and SU faculty member, Ivan Mestrovic, competed for the honor. The winner was Louise Kaisch who arranged for a member of the Onondaga Nation to pose for her statue. The Saltine Warrior, cast in bronze, was moved several times, at last finding a resting place on the south-east corner of the quadrangle, next to the Shaffer Art Building. In the mid-1950's, the father of a Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity brother owned a cheerleading camp. He made a Saltine Warrior costume for his son to wear at SU football games. Thus began a nearly forty-year tradition of Lambda Chi brothers serving as SU's mascot. In 1990 however the University opened up the mascot traditions to the entire student body (Daily Orange, February 22, 1990). In 1978, the members of a Native American student organization headed a protest against using the Saltine Warrior as an athletic mascot. Onondagan Chief Oren Lyons, a 1958 alumnus and former SU lacrosse star, explained that it's all in the presentation...The thing that offended me when I was there was that guy running around like a nut. That's derogatory (Daily Orange, March 23, 1976,p.5). The Saltine Warrior was subsequently sidelined and a contest for successor ensued (Daily Orange, February 12, 1978).
