Injunuity is about Native Americans back when they inhabited, back then they showed respect towards everyone they met. They always gave and never took back. ITVS talked about how the US does not show the true history of Native Americans.
The Lancaster Redskins decided to change their name after the lacrosse teams in three districts with Native American students threatened to cancel games. "Redskins" is a racist slur against Native Americans. Everyone on the school board said they never meant for it to be used in a negative way or for it to be hurtful. This change made a statement to the students to make sure everyone is self-aware and respectful at all times.
The connection between Injunuity and the article about the Lancaster Redskins shows how Injunuity has brought up being respectful and that even now with the Lancaster schools changing their name can make a difference with how the Native Americans are being treated today.
