United Native America of Oklahoma is protesting the use of a headdress on a statue at Florida State University as culturally inaccurate.

The "Integration" statue is meant to honor FSU's first African-American students. The representation of Doby Flowers, the school's first African-American homecoming queen in 1970, features her with a headdress in honor of the school's "Seminoles" nickname.

Mike Graham, founder of United Native America, said the headdress is offensive and should be removed because it is in a Plains Indian style. The school no longer uses the headdress or other non-Seminole Indian symbols.
