The Kansas City Chiefs announced on Thursday that they will ban fans from wearing Native American headdresses, face paint, and clothing at Arrowhead Stadium. “In 2014, we began a dialogue with a group of local leaders form diverse American Indian backgrounds and experiences,” the Chiefs said in its statement. “As an organization, our goal was a better understanding of issues facing American Indian communities in our region and explore opportunities to raise awareness of American Indian cultures and celebrate the rich traditions of tribes with a historic connection to the Kansas City area. But the team said it was exploring the creation of a formalized education program, and it promised to continue discussions with Native American groups moving forward. “We are grateful for the meaningful conversations we have had with all of these American Indian leaders,” the team said.
