Biz group apologizes after 'Hunt for the Indian' promotion falls flat

A chamber of commerce in Maine is apologizing for a holiday promotion that asked participants to “Hunt for the Indian,” an event blasted by some critics as “absolutely horrific” and totally tone-deaf.

The planned event by the Skowhegan Area Chamber of Commerce featured a Native American figurine, which was to be hidden in a local business for participants to find using clues posted on the group’s Facebook page. Winners would be offered discounts of up to 20 percent.
