they were offended by the Redskin's name. However, this is moderated by demographic characteristics in addition to Native identification. A year after the study was published, Fryberg was interviewed by the Washingtonian on the results of her study. In the interview, Fryberg mentions the polls by the Washington Post inquiring whether or not polltakers found the title "Redskins" offensive, and how these polls inspired the recent study. She spoke about how the data for the recent study is kept public, and why the data she collected is more reliable than the poll data. In the interview, Fryberg also discussed how the name "Redskins" contributes to the dehumanization of Native people. In an article in The New York Times on schools that are reconsidering nicknames of their sports teams as an outcome of campaigns against racism, Fryberg counters arguments that teams with Native names honor the heritage of those peoples. "When you use a person’s identity in a sports domain,” she said, “and you allow people to dress in red face and put on headdresses and dance and chant a Hollywood made-up song that mocks Native tradition and culture, there is no way to call that honoring.” Recognition and awards References American women psychologists 21st-century American psychologists Tulalip Tribes Living people Native American activists Year of birth missing (living people) Stanford University alumni University of Arizona faculty University of Washington faculty American women academics 21st-century American women
