I remember going to at-home Redskin games with my family and the joy that brought to me.

When I was just a little girl, a big part of that joy was when the Native American Indian Chief would lead the great band onto the field. They played the «Hail to the Redskins» theme song, and we all sang along till we were hoarse.

It was amazing!

The chief wore a full headdress of the most beautiful glistening feathers. I was mesmerized.  Following him were many other Indians proudly playing «Hail to the Redskins» on their instruments. 

Then came the beautiful «Squaws» dressed in white beaded costumes, twirling their batons. It may sound silly, but that parade of people dressed like Native American Indians absolutely thrilled me!

My mom allowed me to buy America Indian dolls each season at the Redskin store. Those were my favorite possessions.
