Richie Plass: Anatomy of a Sports Mascot Protest
Produced by Paul DeMain
Little Rock, Arkansas (NFICTV) 10-08
Richie Plass is a Menominee/Stockbridge-Munsee from Northern Wisconsin.
Over the past few years he has led an effort to educate the public about mascots and logos, collecting a vast number of posters, shirts and other material depicting Native Americans in erroneous ways.
A published poet, actor, educator, activist and musician, Plass takes his efforts seriously. This presentation was taped during the 8th annual Sequoyah Research Center Symposium Oct. 16-18 at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock where Native American intellectuals and presentators engage each other in topical discussions of current issues.
