Calling on the Secretary of Education to work with stakeholders to immediately eliminate race-based Native logos, mascots, and names from State educational institutions, and calling on State educational institutions and national sports franchises to cease the unsanctioned use of such logos, mascots, and names.

HRES 589 is a non-binding House resolution calling for the removal of harmful Native-themed symbols - such as race-based logos, mascots, and names - from state schools and national sports teams. It directs the Secretary of Education to collaborate with Tribal Nations and stakeholders to eliminate these symbols in state educational institutions, particularly those receiving federal funds. The resolution urges schools and sports franchises to stop using such imagery without permission, citing research showing these symbols negatively impact Native students' self-esteem and perpetuate stereotypes. It does not create new laws but seeks to align educational and sports practices with the goal of reducing racial harm.
