500 Years of Dignity and Resistance

The Committee of 500 Years of Dignity and Resistance initially formed in 1991 to educate the public about negative stereotyping against the Indigenous people in sports and media. The Committee's primary work was to actively protest the racist logo and name of the Cleveland Major League Baseball team. As the Committee has grown and developed our has progressed toward public education through our annual conference, speaking, and presentation opportunities on Native American rights and culture.
