Gov. John Hickenlooper signed an executive order Tuesday creating a commission to discuss American Indian high school mascots. The group would include tribes, local community members and state agencies to find common ground, said Ernest House Jr., executive director of the Colorado Office of Indian Affairs. In the last legislative session, a bill carried by state Reps.

(Lynn Bartels, The Denver Post) As expected, a bill that would require tribal approval for public schools to continue using American Indian mascots died tonight in a Republican-controlled Senate committee today. The Senate, State, Veterans & Military Affairs Committee voted 3-2 on a party-line vote against House Bill 1165, which narrowly squeaked out of the House with every single Republican and one Democrat opposed to the measure. The sponsor, Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, D-Westminster, talked about the hurtful impact of Indian mascots on Indian youth, as did several witnesses with Indian ancestry, including Lucille Left Hand Bull, 8, and LacyJay Left Hand Bull, 7.
