Abstract
Using legal scholar Felix Cohen’s philosophy of Indian rights, this article provides a broad interpretive analysis of the American Indian sport imagery issue. The article begins with an introduction to Cohen’s work and then elaborates on howWhite privilege operates within the culture. An analysis of various aspects of American Indian sport imagery follows, using a concept Cohen called “transcendental nonsense.” Finally, the article concludes with recommendations for how teachers, corporate executives, and government leaders canmove beyond the transcendental nonsense that American Indian mascots and team names represent to a better and more meaningful understanding for both American Indians and non–American Indians.
