This book assesses the controversies over the Washington NFL team
name as a window into other recent debates about the use of Native
American mascots for professional and college sports teams. Fenelon
explores the origin of team names in institutional racism and
mainstream society's denial of the impact of four centuries of
colonial conquest. Fenelon's analysis is supported by his surveys
and interviews about the "Redskins" name and Cleveland "Indians"
mascot "Chief Wahoo." A majority of Native peoples see these
mascots as racist, including the National Congress of American
Indians-even though mainstream media and public opinion claim
otherwise. Historical analysis divulges these terms as outgrowths
of "savage" and "enemy icon" racist depictions of Native nations.
The book ties the history of conquest to idealized claims of
democracy, freedom, and "honoring" sports teams.
