William & Mary mascot doll, 1970/1985

0.5 Linear Feet

This collection consists of a doll dressed as a clown in a yellow and black checkered outfit with the words "William & Mary Indians" written on the necktie. The term "Indian" in relation to William & Mary first appeared in the early twentieth century as an informal mascot. The William & Mary community began incorporating "Indian" into its identity to promote a sense of school spirit and unity, creating traditions surrounding perceived Native American clothing, events, and experiences. The "Indians" name persisted as an official and unofficial mascot throughout the twentieth century, phased out institutionally by William & Mary in the 1980s.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
