Illinois Native American Bar Association - 2001 in Review - "Redskins" mascot lawsuit - Brief Article
Chicago Reporter, The, Jan, 2002 by Kimiyo Naka, Concethia D. Campbell, Chloe Mister
The Illinois Native American Bar Association files a federal civil rights lawsuit against the northwest suburban Huntley Unit District 158 asking for it to get rid of its "Redskins" mascot. The group claims the name originated in "the government's genocidal policy to offer a bounty for the scalps of Native Americans." The Huntley High School has been the "Redskins" since 1928.
The school board decided to keep the name in April.
