Pro-Native American activists fighting to save indigenous traditions in nationwide war against wokenessFrom coast to coast, wokeness is facing a rebellion.
Communities are fighting to reclaim their local heritage after a cancel-culture rampage in recent years eviscerated Native American images, nicknames and tributes at hundreds of schools nationwide.
"We’re actually fighting an anti-American movement," Lisa Davis, a pro-Native American activist in Cedar City, Utah, told Fox News Digital.
"The people trying to erase Native American culture are the same people trying to remove Thomas Jefferson and bashing American heritage."
Davis and other Cedar City residents formed the grassroots organization VOICE (Voices of Iron County Education) after the school board voted to eliminate the high school’s traditional Redmen name and logo in 2019.
"It was an honor to be called the Redmen," Julia Casuse, a "full-blooded Navajo" and graduate of Cedar City High School, told Fox News Digital.
The silversmith said she tells visitors at the family’s shop, Navajo Crafting Co., "I’m a Redmen through and through."
The school's nickname is now the Reds. ..................
