Utah schools discuss on-campus representation of Indigenous peoples A resolution in Utah’s most recent legislative session started conversations about on-campus representations of Indigenous peoples. These representations include mascots and statues, like the “Massasoit Indian” statue on the BYU campus. (Universe archives) Discussions about inclusivity on Utah campuses continue after a resolution urging Utah schools to retire Native American mascots failed in the recent Utah legislative session. The resolution, HCR3, would have encouraged K-12 public schools to retire their Native American mascots. It failed to pass the House on Feb. 16 after Utah lawmakers spoke against it. HCR3 would not have been binding law, but a statement of encouragement to promote inclusivity and sensitivity toward native students.
