Seminole applauds change

To the editor:

In response to "The end for Indians": Hooray for Southeast Missouri State University. It understands the concepts of racism and the Indian sports team mascot and did the right thing at the right time.

As an American and citizen of the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma, we are also fighting the issue of the Florida State University Seminole mascot. Unfortunately, the tribal leadership there doesn't understand the concept or doesn't care, making our struggle with this particular mascot difficult. Florida State refuses to change since it's OK with the Florida Seminoles. It doesn't matter that the Oklahoma Seminole people have stated that the mascot is racist.

Again, My gratitude and congrats. Another one bites the dust.
