Native American Sports Mascots
Clip: 11/7/2013 | 8m 47sVideo has Closed Captions
We discuss Native American sports mascots and images.
Native American images and mascots have long been used by college and professional teams. But there's a growing push to do away with a practice some find racist. Should the Blackhawks change their name? We discuss the issue with Michael Silverstein, professor of anthropology, linguistics and psychology at the University of Chicago, and Anthony Roy, a member of the First Nations Ojibway Tribe.
