American Indians and Sports

This course examines the history of American Indians and sports from pre-contact to the present era. Course topics will cover indigenous games, and the way Native athletes participated in sports such as baseball, basketball, football, and long distance running. The course readings will focus on Native athletes who competed within the context of an American sport culture. Other readings will critically engage and evaluate the use of Native imagery and stereotypes as team mascots. By consulting primary and secondary sources, and films, this course seeks to broaden the student's understanding of key figures in Indian sport history, and to provide the student with an historical and cultural context that draws on indigenous and western philosophies and practices of sports.
