San Diego State University students are again asking the school administrators to end the use of an Aztec warrior as their mascot, reports
On Tuesday, May 4, the SDSU Senate passed a resolution urging the school to change the mascot and select one that will honor the Kumeyaay, the indigenous people who originally lived in the area.
Dr.
Jacob Alvarado Waipuk, a member of the San Pasqual Band of the Kumeyaay Nation, will propose two Kumeyaay-named animals for the school to consider, reports SDSU's campus newspaper.
While SDSU doesn't have an official mascot, a student dressed as an Aztec warrior appeared to lead chants at sporting events during the 2019-20 season.
