• Discuss the implications of the Indian mascots that are used for professional and college teams across the country. Why would many Native American’s find these mascots offensive? Are there any positive aspects of having such mascots?

• What were some policies put in place by the U.S. government that may contribute to the mistrust that Native Americans have of mainstream American culture?
