- Native_American_mascot_controversy abstract "The issue of the propriety of using terms and images referring to Native Americans as the name or mascot for a sports team is a topic of public controversy in the United States and in Canada, coming into prominence as part of the Native American civil rights movement originating in the 1960s.Since the 1960s, there have been a number of protests and other actions by Native Americans and others targeting the more offensive use of such names and images, as well their use by the more visible professional franchises—such as the Cleveland Indians (in particular their \"Chief Wahoo\" logo); and the Washington \"Redskins\" (the term \"redskins\" being defined in most American English dictionaries as 'derogatory slang').The issue is often discussed in the media only in terms of 'offensiveness', which tends to reduce the problem to one of just feelings and opinions, and prevents a fuller understanding of the history and context of the use of Native American names and images, and the reasons why use of such names and images by sports teams should be eliminated. Social science research says that sports mascots and images, rather than being mere entertainment, are important symbols with deeper psychological and social effects. The accumulation of research on the harm done has led to over 115 professional organizations representing civil rights, educational, athletic, and scientific experts adopting resolutions or policies that state that the use of Native American names and/or symbols by non-native sports teams is a form of ethnic stereotyping that promotes misunderstanding and prejudice which contributes to other problems faced by Native Americans.Native mascots are also part of the larger issues of cultural appropriation and the violation of indigenous intellectual property rights, which includes all instances where non-natives use indigenous music, art, costumes, etc. in entertainment or other performances. It has been argued that harm to Native Americans occurs because the appropriation of Native culture by the majority society continues the systems of dominance and subordination that have been used to colonize, assimilate, and oppress indigenous groups.Defenders of the current usage often state their intention to honor Native Americans by referring to positive traits, such as fighting spirit and being aggressive, brave, stoic, dedicated, and proud; while opponents see these traits as being based upon stereotypes of Native Americans as savages. Supporters also state that the issue is not important, being only about sports, and that the opposition is nothing more than \"political correctness\", which critics argue ignores the extensive evidence of harmful effects of stereotypes and bias. Surveys of public opinion until recently have consistently found that the majority of non-Native American people in the United States favor retaining the most of the names and images in current use. Although there has been a steady decline in the 21st century in the number of teams doing so, Native American images and nicknames nevertheless remain fairly common in American sports, and may be found in use at all levels, from elementary school teams to professional sports franchises.".
