Native Americans as Sports Mascots.
Muir, Sharon Pray
Social Education, v63 n1 p56-57 Jan-Feb 1999
Discusses the controversy over whether sport teams should use Native American logos, mascots, or native symbols. Suggests that by implementing role-reversal techniques (putting the nonnative people in the same place) uncaring sports fans may recognize the disrespect involved; offers a hypothetical newspaper article that illustrates the role-reversal technique.
