District officials said that the idea of the ritual had been “to honor… our rich Native American history.”
An Indiana high school has come under intense scrutiny after a now-deleted TikTok capturing a pregame ritual disrespectful to Native Americans accumulated more than half a million views on the platform. “It was definitely bizarre,” Sarah Holba, who recorded and posted the video, told McClatchy News. “It kind of makes you feel a little sick to your stomach.” Holba said she had gone to attend a basketball game at Anderson High School when a mascot walked out “wearing a headdress.
” In subsequent footage, according to thestudents can be seen passing around a kind of pipe and dancing in a style reminiscent of Native stereotypes. It made a “mockery of a sacred pipe ceremony,” according to Rachel Thunder, a Native rights activist and organizer. Anderson Community School Corporation has said that an investigation into the performance has been launched.
