TOXIC WEB

Mascots of Indian people dehumanize Indian people. Who can take any of our legitimate issues or even our culture seriously when we are portrayed as cartoon characters every day? Mascots dismiss us as human beings...Perhaps one day we all will be repulsed by the word ‘redskin.’

— Shan Goshorn


SLEEPING BEAR

“I have always felt there is a significant chasm that divides Native people from non-Natives [...] that began at first contact and continues to this day.”

– Shan Goshorn
