I know that we talked a lot about the Loup City Mascot in class, but I had no idea it looked like that. That is ridiculous and I hope that they change it soon. I don’t understand what foot they have to stand on when trying to defend why as a school they feel that is ok to have that as their mascot.

They really are all offensive. Loup city is the worst, probably because it showed the whole body, not just the head and shoulders. I also think the Arapahoe "ken" doll dressed as an Indian is pretty bad.

I can see why the one person chose Crofton, but the Loup City one has the hair, the nose, the feather, the weapons, the moccasins, the walk... of course that is the most racist one! Crofton would have been my second choice, though.
NAMS Tues Eve.
While all of these images are likely offensive mascots, the Loup City one is basically a mocking caricature of Indians. There's nothing that looks respectful about that one.
I can actually see how all of them could be offensive in one way or another. I chose Crofton is appealing to the "Red Savage" stereotype. Even if it is a school mascot and they are trying to strike fear in the hearts of the opponents, I don't think going for the mean savage look is the right idea. The other options made me think the schools were going for proud or strong, or even slightly humorous.

The Loup City mascot definetely doesn't honor Indians.

I think Loup City is by far the most offensive to the Indian Culture.
TR 11:30-12:45
The Loup City mascot makes Indians looks like angry savages. By far the most offensive out of all the others.

This is the most fair and unbiased poll I have ever seen! It is absolutely amazing in its depth and fair treatment of the subject of Native American Mascots! How much more fair could this poll be? NONE!!! THATS how much more fair this poll can be!! I would say that Mr. Zendejas should receive an exorbitant grant to further this ground breaking research!
Even though Loup city looks offensive but kind of funny at the same time. (Tuesday-Thursday 1-2:15pm)
