McGill University says its sports teams will no longer be called 'Redmen.'
Principal Suzanne Fortier says the Redmen name is not one the university would choose today, and it is not one that McGill should carry forward.
The name dates back to the 1920s and has been described by some as a tribute to the teams' red uniforms. But in the 1950s, men's and women's teams came to be nicknamed the “Indians” and “Squaws,” and some teams later adopted a logo with an Indigenous man wearing a headdress.
