OU mascot feud draws Indian group pressure and counterpoints
Vernon Bellecourt of the American Indian Movement urges Ottawa University to drop the Braves mascot, calling it insulting, while D'Souza defends the symbol as honoring OU’s origins dating to 1865 and linked to Ottawa Indians. The debate includes calls for forums with Native leaders and critiques of perceived political correctness.
