Sports mascots have been a tradition for decades. Along with the usual
lions and tigers, many schools are represented by Native American
images. Once considered a benign practice, numerous studies have
proved just the opposite: that the use of Native American mascots in
educational institutions has perpetuated a shameful history of racial
insensitivity. The Native American Mascot Controversy provides an
overview of the issues that have been associated with this topic for
the past 40 years. The book provides a comprehensive and critical
account of the issues surrounding the controversy, explicating the
importance of anti-Indian racism in education and how it might be
challenged. A collection of important primary documents and an
extensive list of resources for further study are also included.
Expounding the dangers and damages associated with their continued
use, The Native American Mascot Controversy is a useful guide for
anyone with an interest in race relations.
