A growing controversy in recent years has arisen around the use and
abuse of Native American team mascots. The Cleveland Indians,
Atlanta Braves, Washington Redskins, Kansas City Chiefs, Florida
State Seminoles, and so forth—these are just a few of the images
and names popularly associated with Native Americans that are still
used as mascots by professional sports teams, dozens of
universities, and countless high schools. This practice, a
troubling legacy of Native–Euro-American relations in the United
States, has sparked heated debates and intense protests that
continue to escalate. Team Spirits is the first comprehensive
look at the Native American mascots controversy. In this work
activists and academics explore the origins of Native American
mascots, the messages they convey, and the reasons for their
persistence into the twenty-first century. The essays examine hotly
contested uses of mascots, including the Washington Redskins, the
Cleveland Indians, and the University of Illinois's Chief
Illiniwek, as well as equally problematic but more complicated
examples such as the Florida State Seminoles and the multitude of
Native mascots at Marquette University. Also showcased are examples
of successful opposition, including an end to Native American
mascots at Springfield College and in Los Angeles public schools.
