Indian's today are treated better these days than in the past. But, unfournately Indian’s today still face challenges. Indians today have high rates of poverty and unemployment. The federal government is still stripping Native people of their land. In America, we have sports teams called the Redskins which is offensive to Native Americans. It is ethic stereotyping We do not see sports team called Caucasian. When sports teams
use mascots such as Chief Illiniwek that was a mascot for University of Illinois. When using a headdress and religious symbols and traditions as a show is offensive. You do not see someone dressed in a Jesus outfit doing a hip hop dance of some sort before a big sports game because someone who practiced Christianity would find that offensive and inapproiate. A mascot is a thing not someone. We still have many things to improve but we have come a long way but still have a long way to go. We need to accept that we are all different, there are different cultures, and over come culture shock and start treating everyone as an equal.
