“Kick” explores racial stereotyping and the American Indian mascot issue through the eyes of Grace Greene, one of the few Native American students at Newman High School. When Grace decides to take a stand against her school's "brave" mascot, she learns that sometimes sports are far more than just fun and games. “Kick” tells the story of a week in the life of Grace Greene. It's a big week—Homecoming Week—when tradition and school spirit become fighting words. An incident of vandalism to her school's beloved logo—the Newman Brave—begins a chain of events that change Grace, her family and her community. Presented by the WI DPI American Indian Studies Program, and co-presented by the Oneida Nation Arts Program.
