Butler Mill Trail, Lake Jackson Mounds, Tallahassee, Florida
A short tour of the Butler Mill Trail at Lake Jackson Mounds State Park.
Robert Butler was appointed the Surveyor General in Florida in 1825. He had a plantation of 900 acres around Lake Jackson, which includes what is today the Lake Jackson Mounds State Park.
Butler was an important person in the history of antebellum Florida, although he is largely forgotten today. The trail at Lake Jackson Mounds that passes by his earthworks and site of his former grist mill is named the Butler Mill trail, although unfortunately, nowhere in the park or brochures will you find out who he was.
When he was a teenager, Robert Butler was orphaned and became legal ward and raised by General Andrew Jackson in Tennessee. He later married Rachael Hays, who was niece of Jackson and his wife Rachael. Butler followed Jackson with a military Career, and was at the Battle of New Orleans and served as Jackson's Adjutant during the first Seminole War in 1818, where he signed the infamous execution orders of Ambrister and Arbuthnot.
In 1821, Butler accepted the flags at the changing of flags when Florida was transferred from Spain to the United States.
His gravesite is nearby in the woods off Crowder Road near the Lake Jackson Mounds State Park, although I have not been able to find it or get there.
No doubt, it was Butler who named Lake Jackson after his guardian and mentor, which shows up with the name of Lake Jackson on maps as early as 1827.
Activists in recent years have suggested renaming the mounds to the Okeeheepkee Mounds park. That is fine and it is the proper name of this place in the Muskogee language. People just don't seem to realize that there is also history behind why this place was Lake Jackson, and it was by Robert Butler almost 200 years ago.

SUMMARY
=======
For decades in the U.S., there have been isolated incidents of removal of Confederate monuments and memorials, although generally opposed in public opinion polls, and several U.S. States have passed laws over 115 years to hinder or prohibit further removals.
In the wake of the Charleston church shooting in June 2015, several municipalities in the United States removed monuments and memorials on public property dedicated to the Confederate States of America. The momentum accelerated in August 2017 after the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. The removals were driven by the belief that the monuments glorify white supremacy and memorialize a treasonous government whose founding principle was the perpetuation and expansion of slavery. Many of those who object to the removals, like President Trump, believe that the artifacts are part of the cultural heritage of the United States.The vast majority of these Confederate monuments were built during the era of Jim Crow laws (1877–1954) and the Civil Rights Movement (1954–1968). Detractors claim that they were not built as memorials but as a means of intimidating African Americans and reaffirming white supremacy. The monuments have thus become highly politicized; according to Eleanor Harvey, a senior curator at the Smithsonian American Art Museum and a scholar of Civil War history: If white nationalists and neo-Nazis are now claiming this as part of their heritage, they have essentially co-opted those images and those statues beyond any capacity to neutralize them again.In some Southern states, state law restricts or prohibits altogether the removal or alteration of public Confederate monuments. According to Stan Deaton, senior historian at the Georgia Historical Society, These laws are the Old South imposing its moral and its political views on us forever more. This is what led to the Civil War, and it still divides us as a country. We have competing visions not only about the future but about the past.
Racist Stereotypes and Cultural Appropriation in American Sports 1
Mascot Origin Myths
In this day-long symposium sports writers, scholars, authors, and representatives from sports organizations engaged in lively panel discussions on racist stereotypes and cultural appropriation in American sports.
The symposium explores the mythology and psychology of sports stereotypes and mascots, and examines the retirement of Native American sports references and collegiate efforts to revive them despite the NCAA's policy against hostile and abusive nicknames and symbols.
In this first session Kevin Gover, Director of the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian, gives an introduction to the symposium. Following his talk, a panel explores the origins of mascots in American sports. The panelists for this session are:
Dr. Manley A. Begay, Jr., Moderator. Associate Social Scientist/Senior Lecturer, American Indian Studies Program, The University of Arizona; and Co-Director, Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University
Dr. E. Newton Jackson, Associate Provost and Professor of Sport Management, University of North Florida
Dr. C. Richard King, Co-Editor, Team Spirits, Native Athletes in Sport and Society and Encyclopedia of Native Americans in Sports and Professor and Chair, Department of Critical Gender & Race Studies, Washington State University
Dr. Ellen Staurowsky, Professor, Department of Sport Management, Goodwin School of Professional Studies, Drexel University
Ms. Linda M. Waggoner, Author, Fire Light: The Life of Angel De Cora, Winnebago Artist and Playing Indian, Dreaming Indian: The Trial of William 'Lone Star' Dietz (Montana: The History Magazine, Spring 2013); and lecturer, Multicultural Studies, Sonoma State University
The symposium was webcast on February 7, 2013 from the Rasmuson Theater.
