Summary
Sports mascots have been a tradition for decades. Along with the usual lions and tigers, many schools are represented by Native American images. Using such images was once considered a benign practice, but 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
