TEXAS - Disney World 'regrets' performance by 'Indianettes,' Port Neches-Groves HS drill team
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Officials at Walt Disney World said Friday that a performance by a visiting Texas high school drill team that used American Indian stereotypes, including chants of “scalp them," doesn't reflect the Florida resort's values.
The performance this week in the Magic Kingdom by the “Indianettes" drill team from Port Neches-Grove High School “did not reflect our core values, and we regret it took place," Disney spokeswoman Jacquee Wahler said in an emailed statement.
An audition tape that the school had provided in order to be selected to perform at the theme park resort was inconsistent with the actual performance, the statement said.

Cherokee Nation Principal Chief responds to Port Neches-Groves' Disney World performance
PORT NECHES, Texas — The Port Neches-Groves band and Indianettes find themselves in the national spotlight following a performance at Walt Disney World during Spring Break. They marched down Main Street and performed the PNG fight song which includes chants of "Scalp 'em, Indians, scalp 'em."
It has reignited controversy over the school's Indian mascot.
Disney representatives now say they regret allowing PNG to perform at all, and they're changing their policy based on the backlash.
Native Americans have taken to social media to condemn Disney for allowing the band to perform at all.
“Last night I saw a video floating around on social media,” said Minnesota tribal attorney Tara Houska. "It was pretty shocking to see the scalp ‘em reference.”
Houska is the founder of Giniw Collective, an environmental group, and an organization called "Not Your Mascots," which is "dedicated to fighting against stereotypical native representation in sports."
“We're telling you it's not honor, and we've been telling you it's not honor,” Houska said. For her, and many other critics, this issue goes beyond the parade performance.
“Disney knew that this team is calling itself the Indianettes,” Houska said. “They refer to their football stadium as 'The Reservation.' They have 'The Pow Wow’ news. The yearbook is called 'The War Whoop.' These guys have doubled down through the years on behavior that has been largely condemned as racist because it is.”
