Let's see here. You have a high school, Red Mesa High, on a Navajo reservation with a vast majority of the students being Native Americans, and what is the mascot that they chose?

The Redskins.

Red Mesa High School - Athletics
Who here believes they chose this mascot in order to offend themselves?

Would a more culturally appropriate name for them in 2013 be the Washington Casino Hustlers? Would the NA leaders be ok with that as it seems to represent their current role in society quite well.
