Indians Take Washington Redskins to Task Over ‘R-Word’

Well here’s a powerful message from the National Congress of American Indians that celebrates the plight, achievements, attitude and history of the American Indian. The two minute video shares a collage of Indians, their place in America and pays tribute to their tribal names.

All throughout the video, created by goodness Mfg., we are given words that describe these proud people. At the end we are asked why a national football team still uses a derogatory word, referred to as the “R Word” by native Americans, as its name and mascot.

If only this were running during the Super Bowl.
