Indigenous peoples protest over Washington’s racist NFL team’s name

HUNDREDS of protesters chanting: “We are not your mascot” have marched in Minneapolis against the Washington Redskins team name.

Demonstrators rallied on Thursday ahead of the Minnesota Vikings game against Washington. The protesters called the team’s name racist and degrading to Native Americans.

Minnesota Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan told the crowd the mascot “dehumanises our people.” Flanagan is a member of the White Earth Band of Ojibwe.
