Among the categories of names for sports teams in the United States and Canada, those referring to Indigenous peoples are lesser in popularity only to the names of various animals. In a list of the top 100 team names, "Indians" is 14th, "Braves" is 38th, "Chiefs" is 52nd, "Redskins" is 89th.[1] The typical logo is an image of a stereotypical Native American man in profile, wearing a Plains Indians headdress; and are often cartoons or caricatures. Other imagery include dreamcatchers, feathers, spears, and arrows. Individual schools may have performance traditions, such as the tomahawk chop, a mascot or cheerleaders in stereotypical Native attire, and chants adapted from Hollywood movies. These fictional representations stand in the way of any authentic understanding of contemporary Indigenous peoples, and promote racism.[2]

The documents most often cited to justifying the trend for change are an advisory opinion by the United States Commission on Civil Rights in 2001[3] and a resolution by the American Psychological Association in 2005.[4] Both support the views of Native American organizations and individuals that such mascots maintain harmful stereotypes that are discriminatory and cause harm by distorting the past and preventing understanding of Native American/First Nations peoples in the present.

The trend towards the elimination of indigenous names and mascots in local schools has been steady, with two-thirds having been eliminated during the 50 years prior to 2013 according to the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI).[5] In more recent years, the trend has accelerated, particularly in July 2020, following a wave of racial awareness and reforms in wake of national protests after the murder of George Floyd, and the decision by the Washington Football Team to change their Redskins name and logo.[6][7][8]

In a few states with significant Native American populations, change has been mandated by law, such in Maine,[9] Oregon,[10] Washington[11] and Wisconsin.[12]

The list below for secondary schools in the United States and Canada remains substantial, with 375 teams currently calling themselves "Indians", 114 "Braves", 68 "Chiefs", 155 "Warriors" using indigenous imagery (there are many with the name using generic, Greek or Roman mascots), and 40 "Redskins". The latter has shown the greatest decline, due to an association with the Washington Redskins name controversy. Since the NFL team has become the Washington Football Team, six additional high schools previously using the name also changed. Snell Middle School in Bayard, New Mexico also dropped the name.[13]
