      abstract = {This volume offers an overview of the controversies  surrounding the use of Native American mascots for sports  teams over the past 40 years. It trains its attention on  education to reveal the significance of the continued use  of such symbols, artifacts, and identities and the efforts  to combat them. A collection of primary documents and an  extensive list of resources for further study are also  included. Expounding the dangers and damages associated  with their continued use, the editors created a guide for  anyone with an interest in race relations. Sports mascots  have been a tradition for decades. According to this work,  once considered a benign practice, numerous studies have  proved just the opposite that the use of Native American  mascots in educational institutions has perpetuated a  shameful history of racial insensitivity.},
