Imagining the Indian
Streaming video - 2022
IMAGINING THE INDIAN: THE FIGHT AGAINST NATIVE AMERICAN MASCOTING is an award-winning documentary that examines the movement that is ending the use of Native American names, logos, and mascots in the world of sports and beyond. The film details the current uprising against the misappropriation of Native culture in a national reckoning about racial injustice that has succeeded in the removal of Confederate imagery, toppling statues of Christopher Columbus and forcing corporate sponsors of Washington’s NFL team to demand it change its most-offensive name. It examines the origin and proliferation of the words, images, and gestures that many Native people and their allies find offensive. IMAGINING THE INDIAN explores the impact that stereotyp...ing and marginalization of Native history have had on Native people. It chronicles the long social movement to eliminate mascoting.
