An Indigenous activist says he’d like to go ahead with human rights complaints against the Cleveland Indians despite a recent announcement that the baseball team would be changing its controversial logo. His two human rights complaints touched off a round of legal wrangling centred on whether tribunals were the appropriate forum for Cardinal’s concerns. Jilesen said it is still not known whether the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal will hear the federal case. Even if it did raise human rights issues, they argued, those issues fell under federal rather than provincial jurisdiction. So while Chief Wahoo may not appear on the field, the grinning caricature will likely still be visible in stadium seats.
