Debra Lekanoff (D-Wash.) introduced the bill on Friday, which if signed into law would require dozens of schools in the state to update their mascot.<\/p>\n<p>The legislation contended the use of indigenous mascots \u201cfails to respect Native American cultural heritage.\u201d Lekanoff said the measure is about healing and respect for Native American communities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s that time of feeling, it\u2019s that time of a long due respect that should be provided to the Washington tribes, and this bill just opens up that door to say, those 30 schools who still exist, that still carry these Native American mascot names, it\u2019s time for you to recognize that there\u2019s a process and that is to consult with your neighbors next door, to engage with them,\u201d Lekanoff stated.<\/p>\n<p>If passed by the state Legislature, the legislation would go into effect in 2022.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/115-inmates-take-over-section-of-st-louis-mo-jail\/\">115 Inmates Take Over Section Of St. Louis, Mo.
