PART A:

We, the members of the American Anthropological Association, call upon all educators and administrators of educational institutions to stop promoting the stereotypical representation of American Indian people through the use of sports mascots. The persistence of such officially sanctioned, stereotypical presentations humiliates American Indian people, trivializes the scholarship of anthropologists, undermines the learning environment for all students, and seriously compromises efforts to promote diversity on school and college campuses.

PART B:

We, the members of the American Anthropological Association, will cease to schedule Annual Meetings in the state of Illinois until such time as the administration and trustees of the University of Illinois, the flagship educational institution of the state, replace their "Chief Illiniwek" symbol with one that does not promote inaccurate, anachronistic, and damaging stereotypes of native American people, or indeed members of any minority group."
