Retire the Red Raider presents Fighting Indians

What can the small town of Belmont, NC, home of the South Point Red Raiders, learn from a small town in Maine that was forced to reckon with the harms of its "Indians" mascot?

Join Retire the Red Raider for a free screening of the award-winning documentary Fighting Indians, followed by a talkback with filmmaker Mark Cooley. This educational film is a powerful introduction to the topic of Native American-themed school mascots, logos, and nicknames, with particular relevance to the controversy around South Point High School's Red Raider mascot.

We are able to offer tickets free of charge thanks to the generosity of the Independent Picture House and filmmaker Mark Cooley. Whether you are supportive of, opposed to, or on the fence about the Red Raider mascot, you are invited to join us to learn more about this issue so that our community can make informed decisions together in the best interests of all students and other stakeholders.
