Ecstatic to have our story told via the the Rugby Journal. Sharing means opening up old wounds, but without that, it wouldnt be authentic. The truth is, we do come from a different place, we do suffer fromsocial issues but beyond that, we’re strong and ready to play rugby.

Our website may no longer be live but you can find plenty of resources about why the branding needed to change and why the tomahawk chop has to go on our socials + here:

Forever inspired by you @rootsrugby! An article well worth a read, and a re-read and maybe another couple of reads after that.

@BridgetoScotty The club hasn't banned the tomahawk chop. When they rebranded they stopped playing it but it came back mid season - possibly due to lack of atmosphere & poor performance. Hopefully fans will rally behind an alternative song/chant soon - would be great to hear suggestions!

@ExChiefs4Change Why are the supporters still doing it & if the club has actually banned it why don't they ban the culprits from the home games for life? Follow the example set by football against racism?

The @Chiefs are playing in the #SuperBowl today. If you're conflicted about their racist Native American themed name, and you'd like to educate people about why it's bad, I made a Spirit Rangers episode about this exact thing. Here's a clip.
The whole episode is free on Youtube!

This Spirit Rangers episode might be my favorite thing I've ever written. “Not Your Opossum Mascot” is about racist Native American sports mascots, appropriation, and its effects on Native kids. I still can't believe they let me put this scene in a kids show! #SpiritRangers

For more than fifty years, NCAI has been on the frontlines alongside other advocates of #IndianCountry's movement to eradicate offensive Native “themed” mascots from sports and pop culture.

Celebrating the #NativeExcellence on the field during the #BigGame doesn't mean that stereotypical, race-based mascots aren't foul.🚨 Native “themed” sports mascots and fan rituals are symbols of disrespect that degrade, mock, and harm Native people, particularly Native youth.🚨

For decades, the unified voice of hundreds of Tribal Nations representing millions of Native people hasn’t wavered — the message is clear:
📢 #ChangeTheName
📢 #StopTheChop

It's long past time to get rid of all Native mascots and team names. We are here, not in the past. Acts of appeasement only stand to make it worse. The cover up only makes the crime worse. #NotYourMascot #notyourmascots #changethename @Chiefs @NFL #tomahawkchop #stopthechop

Rhonda LeValdo, a Native teacher, activist and subject of the doc Imagining the Indian, writes about why she’s at the Super Bowl protesting the @Chiefs name and chant #notyourmascot rollingstone.com/culture/cultur…

As we move into this particular weekend (🏈), let us be reminded of our tireless efforts and the momentous steps forward.
We call on all sports teams and schools to retire mascots profiting off the offensive imagery that dishonors Indigenous people.
We are #NotYourMascot.

While there have been changes made in efforts to make the @Chiefs name and mascot "less" problematic, there is still a LOT of work to do. Indigenous activists are calling out those who can, and should, help make a change. #SuperBowlLVII #NotYourMascot
