On November 20, 2001, members of the Native American community, the media and athletics met in a public forum in Minnesota to discuss Native American mascots and racism. Today, this issue remains relevant as communities have come together to ask the Washington Redskins to change their name. The organizer's purpose of the 2001 forum was to bring awareness and understanding to this issue.
