Native American sports team mascots represent a contemporary
problem for modern Native American people. The ideas embedded in
the mascot representations, however, are as old as the ideas
constructed about the Indian since contact between the peoples of
Western and the Eastern hemispheres. Such ideas conceived about
Native Americans go hand-in-hand with the machinations of
colonialism and conquest of these people. This research looks at
how such ideas inform the construction of identity of white males
from historic experiences with Native Americans. Notions of
"playing Indian" and of "going Native" are precipitated from these
historic contexts such that in the contemporary sense of
considering Native Americans, popular culture ideas dress Native
Americans in feathers and buckskin in order to satisfy stereotypic
expectations of Indian-ness.
