A diocese in the US has been forced to apologise after videos emerged showing students from a Catholic boys’ high school shouting ‘make America great again’ whilst mocking Native Americans. The incident took place outside the Lincoln Memorial in Washington. The Indigenous Peoples March in Washington on Friday coincided with the March for Life, which drew thousands of anti-abortion protesters, including a group of students from Covington Catholic High School in Park Hills. Footage online shows a young man staring at and standing extremely close to Nathan Phillips, a 64-year-old Native American man singing and playing a drum. PewDiePie is still a Maverick as he defends Logan Paul’s ‘gay for a month’ comments Other students, some wearing Covington clothing and many wearing ‘Make America Great Again’ hats and sweat shirts, surrounded them, chanting, laughing and jeering. In a joint statement, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Covington and Covington Catholic High School apologised to Mr Phillips. Officials said they are investigating and will take ‘appropriate action, up to and including expulsion’. ‘We extend our deepest apologies to Mr. Phillips,’ the statement read. ‘This behaviour is opposed to the Church’s teachings on the dignity and respect of the human person.’ A diocese in Kentucky is looking into videos that show youths, possibly from the diocese’s all-male high school, mocking Native Americans at a rally in Washington (Picture: Youtube) Many of the youths were wearing ‘Make America Great Again’ hats (Picture: Youtube) According to the ‘Indian Country Today’ website, Phillips is an Omaha elder and Vietnam veteran who holds an annual ceremony honouring Native American veterans at Arlington National Cemetery. Marcus Frejo, a member of the Pawnee and Seminole tribes, also known as Chief Quese Imc, said he had been a part of the march and was among a small group of people remaining after the rally when the students began chanting slogans such as ‘Make America great’ and then began doing the Haka, a traditional Maori dance. In a phone interview, Mr Frejo said he felt they were mocking the dance and also heckling a couple of black men nearby. An 11-minute video of the confrontation shows the students loudly chanting before Mr Phillips and Mr Frejo approached them. The footage does not show any black person being heckled, but one black man with a camera smiles as he shoots footage of the group. Mr Phillips said he heard the students shouting ‘build that wall, build that wall’ Mr Frejo said he joined Mr Phillips to defuse the situation, singing the anthem from the American Indian Movement with both men beating out the tempo on hand drums. Although he feared a mob mentality that could turn ugly, Mr Frejo said he was at peace singing despite the scorn. He says he briefly felt something special happen as they repeatedly sang the tune. ‘They went from mocking us and laughing at us to singing with us. I heard it three times,’ Mr Frejo said. ‘That spirit moved through us, that drum, and it slowly started to move through some of those youths. ‘When I was there singing, I heard them saying “Build that wall, build that wall”, Mr Phillips said, as he wiped away tears in a video posted on Instagram. ‘This is indigenous lands. We’re not supposed to have walls here. We never did.’ More: World Catholic students in Make America Great Again hats mock Native Americans Kim Kardashian throws Alice In Wonderland themed party for Chicago’s first birthday What time is Dancing On Ice on tonight and who is skating this week? State Democrat Ruth Buffalo, a North Dakota state lawmaker and member of the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation, said she was saddened to see students showing disrespect to an elder who is also a US military veteran at what was supposed to be a celebration of all cultures. ‘The behaviour shown in that video is just a snapshot of what indigenous people have faced and are continuing to face,’ Buffalo said. She said she hoped it would lead to some kind of meeting with the students to provide education on issues facing Native Americans. Got a story for Metro.co.uk?
