IMAGINING THE INDIAN: The Fight Against Native American Mascoting
Followed by a discussion with Co-Director and Co-Producer Aviva Kempner in person!
Imagining the Indian: The Fight Against Native American Mascoting is a comprehensive examination of the movement to eradicate the words, images, and gestures that many Native Americans and their allies
find harmful, demeaning, and offensive. The film takes a deep-dive into the issues through archival footage and interviews with those involved in the fight.
The psychological research is clear, the use of Native American mascots is detrimental, not only to Native people, but to marginalized groups everywhere.
