The use of Native American mascots in sports has become a contentious issue in the United States and Canada. Americans have had a history of "playing Indian" that dates back to at least the 1700s. Many individuals admire the heroism and romanticism evoked by the classic Native American image, but many too view the use of mascots as both offensive and demeaning (especially amongst Native Americans).

  • The use of Native American mascots in sports has become a contentious issue in the United States and Canada. Americans have had a history of "playing Indian" that dates back to at least the 1700s. Many individuals admire the heroism and romanticism evoked by the classic Native American image, but many too view the use of mascots as both offensive and demeaning (especially amongst Native Americans). Despite the concerns that have been raised, many Native American mascots are still used in American sports from the elementary to the professional level.
  • 美洲原住民吉祥物在美國運動競賽中的使用，許多年來一直是充滿爭議的話題。美國人「扮演印地安人」(playing Indian)的歷史很悠久，可以一直追溯到1800年代；許多人欣賞典型美洲原住民圖案所代表的英雄主義和浪漫主義，卻也有許多人認為大學吉祥物的使用不僅令人反感，也有貶低印地安人之意。 儘管引起不少關注，但許多美洲原住民吉祥物至今仍使用於美國運動競賽中，從小學校隊到職業運動皆有。
