The logo for the Change the Mascot campaign
Thousands of Indian artists will be showcasing their products in New Mexico in just two short weeks but that's not why the Original Americans Foundation is headed to the Land of Enchantment. Instead, the organization set up by the Washington NFL team's has a different goal in mind. It wants to buy Indian art with the team's logo or colors. "Preferred items will be those that have the Washington Redskins team logo, or use of team colors … embedded in the art work," Zuni Pueblo said in a notice to artisans, USA Today reported. The foundation will be at Zuni on Monday, the paper reported. Washington team owner Dan Snyder met with tribal leaders there before announcing his charity effort. Get the Story:
