Since the early 1900’s, Shawnee Mission North’s mascot has been a Native American man. Indigenous culture should not be a mascot. This alone can and has had a terrible affect on the indigenous population in the school. As if it wasn’t bad enough already, the pep rallies consist of two people dressing up in ‘gowns’ and dancing around. 

     This cultural appropriation would not be accepted if performed by a single person, so why do we let this school get away with it?
