The Kansas City Chiefs have put new policies in place for fans during games at Arrowhead Stadium with regard to Native American imagery.

Fans are prohibited from wearing headdresses into the stadium. Face painting that is styled in a way as to imitate Native American cultures and traditions is also now prohibited.

The Chiefs will also look into making changes to two favorite Arrowhead traditions among their fans: the Arrowhead Chop and the pregame beating of a drum.

"In 2014, we began a dialogue with a group of local leaders from diverse American Indian backgrounds and experiences,'' the Chiefs said in a statement. "As an organization, our goal was to gain a better understanding of the issues facing American Indian communities in our region and explore opportunities to both raise awareness of American Indian cultures and celebrate the rich traditions of tribes with a historic connection to the Kansas City area.

"We are grateful for the meaningful conversations we have had with all of these American Indian leaders. It is important that we continue the dialogue on these significant topics, and we look forward to continuing to work together in the future.''
