A webcast of the hearing, which is entitled 'Stolen Identities: The Impact of Racist Stereotypes on Indigenous People,' can be seen here at 2:15 p.m. ET.
Loretta Tuell, the committee's chief counsel, says in a statement that concerns over the issuee of linking 'one of the greatest Native American heroes' with the terrorist leader 'is an example of the kinds of issues we intended to address' at the hearing.
'These inappropriate uses of Native American icons and cultures are prevalent throughout our society, and the impacts to Native and non-Native children are devastating,' Tuell says. 'We intend to open the forum to talk about them.'
