Current Owner is the Lake Erie Native American Council (LENAC)
The 'People Not Mascots' Logo is meant to be a Native American protest caricature of the racists Chief Wahoo logo of the Cleveland Indians Baseball team that lost to the Chicago Cubs in the 2016 World Series. It was originally designed and painted in 1992 by David Jakupca at the historic ARK in Berea for the Committee of 500 Years of Dignity and Resistance along with the Lake Erie Native American Council (LENAC) incorporating elements of the Theory of Iceality on Environmental Arts. The 'People not Mascots' Logo has drawn criticism from Cleveland sportswriters, fans and local businessmen, but received immediate acceptance among humanitarian, religious groups and Native Americans.
The Cleveland 'People not Mascots' Logo gained international popular attention when it was it exhibited by International Center for Environmental Arts (ICEA) at the 1993
United Nations World Conference on Human Rights held in Vienna, Austria.
The 'People not Mascots' logo has become the most recognized anti-racist logo in existence and has forever changed the way people view the worlds trillion dollar sports industries!
While the logo remained on the caps and uniform sleeves of Indians players Tuesday night, the Times noted it was not evident anywhere else around Progressive Field. While the uniforms remain the most visible use of the logo, an MLB spokesman said Manfred has made it clear to the team he wants the Indians to "transition" away from the logo.
“We have specific steps in an identified process and are making progress,’’ spokesman Pat Courtney told the Times in a statement. “We are confident that a positive resolution will be reached that will be good for the game and the club.’’

About Artist David Jakupca:
David Jakupca, is an American Philosopher, Ambassador, Artist, Activists and Author. He served as both American Cultural Ambassador and Universal Peace Ambassador in International capacities. He is extremely influential through his works, especially as philosophical advocate and practitioner of the environmental arts methods and developing the Sustainable Age revolution. Jakupca is recognized as the 'Spiritual Father of the Environmental Art’ Movement and is the co-creator with his wife Renate of the 'Theory of Iceality on Environmental Arts'. His works established and popularized inductive formula's for scientific inquiry, sometimes called the Iceality Method. His demand for a planned procedure of investigating all things natural marked a new turn in the rhetorical and theoretical framework for the science of aesthetics, much of which surrounds conceptions of proper Environmental Art Methodology today and is the basis in use for the building of the “Great American Peace Trail”.

WHY THE CLEVELAND INDIANS LOST THE 2016 WORLD SERIES or
What is the "Curse of Chief Wahoo? 
The curse of Chief Wahoo is the bad Karma generated by the Cleveland Baseball Team choosing profits and preferences over valuing people who simply ask not to be portrayed this way.
During regular season games the bad Karma is localized and diminished. But as the teams climbed up in stature during the play-off games the Karma becomes centralized and stronger as more and more people get in the Spirit of the games.
During the 2016 World Series, bad Karma reached it peak on a national level and jinxed the Cleveland Baseball Team causing them to lose the Series.
It just doesn't have to be this way.
I'll be honest with you, the Spirits have spoken — as long the Cleveland Baseball Team has this logo, the curse remains and they will NOT win a World Series.
 "People not Mascots" Logo in the World Series News:
"...Indians owner Paul Dolan lamentably flaunted the offensive Chief Wahoo on the uniforms of the Cleveland baseball team throughout the post season, basically saying, 'go ahead hit me with you best shot. The International Center for Environmental Arts (ICEA) response was, "...were all in!" ICEA's big media guns began hitting the Chief Wahoo camp continually scoring hits in all the worlds media centers.
On Twitter alone, generating untold hundreds of thousands of re-tweets." David Jakupca.
Final Score: "PEOPLE NOT MASCOTS" wins big over offensive Chief Wahoo.

Cleveland Baseball Team changing name from Indians to Guardians after 2021 Season,
Thanks to David Jakupca
After 30 years of protests led by Dr. David Jakupca and Ambassador Renate, the Cleveland Indians have decided to change their team name to the Guardians moving away from a moniker that the Jakupca's have long been criticized as racist.
The move follows a decision by the Washington Football Team of the N.F.L. in July to stop using a name long considered a racial slur, and is part of a larger national conversation started by the Jakupca's at the International Center for Environmental Arts (ICEA) about race that magnified this year amid protests of systemic racism and police violence.
Earlier The 'People Not Mascots' Logo is meant to be a Native American protest caricature of the racists Chief Wahoo logo of the Cleveland Indians Baseball team was originally designed and painted in 1992 by David Jakupca at the historic ARK in Berea for the Committee of 500 Years of Dignity and Resistance along with the Lake Erie Native American Council (LENAC) incorporating elements of the Theory of Iceality on Environmental Arts.The 'People not Mascots' Logo has drawn criticism from Cleveland sportswriters, fans and local businessmen, but received immediate acceptance among humanitarian, religious groups and Native Americans.
The Cleveland 'People not Mascots' Logo gained international popular attention when it was it exhibited by ICEA at the 1993 United Nations World Conference on Human Rights held in Vienna, Austria.
The 'People not Mascots' logo has become the most recognized anti-racist logo in existence and has forever changed the way people view the worlds trillion dollar sports industries!
