Officials at Walt Disney World said a performance by a visiting Texas school marching team that used American Indian stereotypes, including chants of “scalp them”, does not reflect the Florida resort’s values.

The performance this week in the Magic Kingdom by the Indianettes “did not reflect our core values, and we regret it took place”, Disney spokeswoman Jacquee Wahler said in a statement.
