U of New Mexico Urged to Change 'Racist' Seal

A Native American group called the Red Nation is urging the University of New Mexico to change its official seal, which features a conquistador and a frontiersman. To draw attention to the what those images glorify and ignore in the state's history, the Red Nation added skeletons to the seal and the tag line "What Indians?" and distributed copies of the altered seal on campus. University officials told KRQE News that the seal is rarely used except for graduation diplomas and some official matters, and that changing the seal would require action by the Board of Regents.
