For most of my life I was one of the “we have bigger issues” Natives that denied the importance of changing the mascots. #Thread I grew up on the Rez, my grandpa was a fan of the R*dsk*ns, they had the same colors as our high school, the Cherokee Braves...I also grew up seeing the issues of drugs, diabetes, alcoholism, & lack of adequate mental healthcare firsthand & those seemed more urgent at the time
