Racist? No.
Fugly? Yes.
Advocates day the mail is racist?
This means they are racists?
fine, then depict them how they truly were, depict them cutting the heads off of defeated enemies and with their slaves they captured on raids of other tribes.
Here’s an idea. Just post this sign next to the mural:
“If this mural offends you, don’t look at it.”
Let’s rewrite history.
I suppose they were all wearing three-piece suits back in the day.
The mural itself looks pretty innocuous.
Their kind see racism in cotton balls or Q-tips.
LOL! An honest appraisal. Looks like it was done by a high school art student.
It’s simplistic; sort of a mid-century vintage art from an encyclopedia.
Why does it omit the indigenous people doing human sacrifice?
I DO NOT REMEMBER ANY SHIPS LANDING AT SANTA CLARA.
yeah and take down those rainbow flags which many of us feel are very offensive.
RE: depict them cutting the heads off of defeated enemies and with their slaves they captured....
They captured whites as slaves, too.
I remember an interlibrary loan book a faculty member at my university borrowed. It was the memoir of a white girl captured from her family as it was raided and she was forced to be one of the slaves of the “native Americans.” She was belittled and mistreated. She had one shoe and one bare foot as she was forced to walk over land with the animals as the captors rode in wagons on their long trips.
Slavery is supposed to be wrong.
How about some reparations?
One ugly mural....wonder who did it and how much they got paid. I’m betting a Native American did it...since that appears to be the theme
“The Confederate flag is a historical piece of work, and we don’t fly that,” he told San José Spotlight.
And yet he doesn’t see any thing wrong with THAT statement...
Can we review this for 64 years? I wouldn't want to make any snap judgements.
Wonderful art work: Joseph Jacinto Mora Sold at Auction Prices- - - - -
Jo Mora's (1876-1947) whimsical map of the Grand Canyon, one of Mora's earliest maps from 1931.
This bright and colorful pictorial map provides a detailed look at the Grand Canyon, with marvelous vignettes scattered throughout the image. Joseph (Jo) Mora was a Uruguayan-born American cartoonist and illustrator, a pioneer of the 20th century pictorial map.
The map shows Native American motifs and numerous small illustrations and humorous text, like an illustration of a large donkey statue with the text, 'Proposed Monument to the Canyon's Unsung Heroes - To be erected by popular subscription'. Published by Jo Mora Publications, Monterey California, 1957, 15 x 19.25 inches.

So every image with Native Americans are racist?
Ahhh...the good old days.
The portrayal of our ancestors as scantily clad and kneeling before those religious clerics who enslaved us glosses over the reality of our existence
Are you trying to say that did not happen?
If it did, stfu.
