I'd love ...No, Ten Bears, definitely not THAT!<br /><br />I'd love to hear YOUR recommendation of a team's name that would honor Native Americans without insulting them, and still be "catchy" enough for kids!Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06609452382111686086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-83327149120005181952014-05-01T14:30:13.134-04:002014-05-01T14:30:13.134-04:00Addendum: In many Native cultures, a person’s hair...Addendum: In many Native cultures, a person’s hair, especially a man’s hair, was an extension of one’s soul. According to historian James Axtell, “To lose that hair to an enemy was to lose control over one’s life, to become socially and spiritually `dead’, whether biological death resulted or not.”blackcat<br /><br />American Indians weren’t the only people doing the scalping. European settlers performed that act in large numbers. In fact, the height of scalping Indians occurred in the mid-18th century, with written documents by people of all walks of life describing it. One man — a reverend in the local church — described how much money he had received as his share for supplying ammunition and provisions to a scalp-hunting party.<br /><br />The term “redskin” was also the result of Anglo settlers skinning the natives and presenting them to government officials for a fee. Some of those skins were sold to make lampshades and ladies’ gloves made from the skin of dead American Indians. The term “redskin” was used to describe the skin of a dead Indian.Ten Bearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06594307610015584119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-29929516363317585502014-05-01T14:14:45.924-04:002014-05-01T14:14:45.924-04:00I sincerely hope what you're looking for, Vic,...I sincerely hope what you're looking for, Vic, isn't "Noble Savage".
