It isn't. It should be seen as a flattering honor, a tribute to the bravery and fortitude of those whose land we stole. Some people just take political correctness to an absurd extreme. |

I agree with Nelson, but it could depend on how the mascot is represented. Say, if a sports team has someone dressed up as an Indian dancing around with the cheerleaders, members of "the First Nations" (as the Canadians say) could take offense, especially if the costume was incorrect, or the person carried on in a way that that made fun of his role or simply was silly. |
