Dana’s mascot OpEd convincing I want to thank Maulian Dana for her OpEd on changing Skowhegan’s mascot, “ Indian mascots do not honor us.” I am embarrassed to admit that I was one of those people who didn’t see the harm in a school having an Indian as their mascot. With one sentence Dana made it clear to me where the problem lay. She recalled watching a Skowhegan game on TV as a teenager and seeing “fans prancing around in fake feathers, making hand over mouth war whoops, beating on fake drums and carrying signs with racist language on them.” I get it now.
