Within the larger context of global concerns over representations of indigenous peoples by their colonizers, the issue of racialized sports team mascots based on the White Man's image of Native Americans has been hotly contested within the United States for several decades. After much protest, team names and mascots have been successfully changed at numerous universities. In contrast to these more visible examples, this case study of Salamanca Central High School (New York) and its athletic teams, the Warriors, represents a contrary example because in this community both Native and non-Native people associated with the school are fighting to keep the Indian iconography connected with its teams
