A timely and comprehensive examination of the movement to eradicate the words, images, and gestures many Native Americans and their allies find demeaning and offensive, Imagining the Indian 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.
