  • Seattle U. might stop using Chieftain as mascot

    • by Roberto Sanchez
    Seattle Times staff reporter Fri, May 21, 1999 [excerpt]
    Seattle University is thinking of replacing The Chieftain, its mascot of 61 years, with something less offensive to Native Americans.
    A task force of administrators, professors and students is almost ready to recommend that the university dump its mascot name and logo, which features an Indian chief in profile.
    Nancy Gerou, athletic director at Seattle University, said she has a list of 15 or 20 possible names and mascots, but said the University wasn't ready to choose yet. People or groups, however, are out.
    "It would be more appropriate to choose an object or an animal," Gerou said.

     Methodists take a stand for dignity of humanity
    Methodists representing 1,146 churches throughout Western North Carolina went on record at Lake Junaluska last week affirming the dignity of Native Americans. They asked local churches to work to
    eliminate demeaning mascots or nicknames in schools, colleges and  universities.
    Their action should have a direct effect on Methodists-related schools that might have symbols that demean American Indians--and a far-reaching effect, given the influence that members of the church wield in the society at large..
