From Enemy to Mascot: The Deculturation of Indian Mascots in Sports Culture.
Pewewardy, Cornel
Canadian Journal of Native Education, v23 n2 p176-89 1999
Examines two issues related to Indian mascots in North American sports culture: (1) deculturation or stripping away an ethnic group's culture; and (2) dysconscious racism or unconscious acceptance of the dominant group's norms and privileges. Discusses effects on Indigenous and non-Indigenous children and calls on educators to help eliminate racism in all aspects of school life. (Contains 53 references.) (Author/SV)
