Native American Imagery in Sports<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Robert Zicklin Center for Corporate Integrity hosts a plethora of events which feature guest speakers from a variety of fields who convene to discuss contemporary national issues regarding corporate integrity.\u00a0 According to its published program, the center\u2019s \u201cfocuses of discussion include: transparency of corporate reporting, corporate governance, the examination of legal and ethical corporate behavior, the role of governmental behavior,\u201d and many more subjects pertaining to ethics in the corporate\/legal fields. \u00a0The events are held in the 151 East 25th<\/sup> Street building, adjacent to the Newman Vertical Library.<\/p>\n

In the event \u201cNative American Imagery in North American Sports: Fair or Foul?\u201d moderated by Academic Director of the Zicklin Center for Corporate Integrity David Rosenberg, five speakers connected to the issue of Native American Imagery in North American Sports, voiced their opinions on the ethics of the exposition of the Native American culture in sports team names, logos, attire, and mascots.<\/p>\n

Panelists M. Andre Billeaudeaux, Executive Director of the Native American Guardians Association and William Brotherton, Partner of Brotherton Law Firm, both supported the preservation of positive Native American imagery within the sports realm for academic acknowledgment. Billeaudeaux voiced the importance of \u201cthe strategic planning and outreach of education missions\u201d to promote the positivism of the subject.\u00a0 Brotherton emphasized the pride he has a Fighting Sioux, advocating for the commemoration of the tribe within the sports arena. The two argued that the representation of Native American imagery in sports media is to be celebrated; not taken offense toward.<\/p>\n

In dispute, however, were the other panelists who rejected Native American imagery in sports media for its highly \u201cnegative appropriation.\u201d Paul Lukas, columnist of ESPN.com, would only concede the right to Native American portrayal in media if approved by Native American tribe at the subject; however, he was reluctant to taken any side of the spectrum. Moya-Smith, Contributing Columnist of CNN, however, relayed the strongest argument against Native American \u201cappropriation\u201d in media.\u00a0 As a member of the Ogala Lakota Nation, the only panelist with a direct connection to Native American lineage, Moya-Smith offered his complete opposition to the \u201coppression\u201d and \u201cdehumanization\u201d that stirs from the sports affiliation.<\/p>\n

The panel, which drew on issues of identity of Native American tribes within sports media, stirred up conflicting opinions which broadened horizons on the establishment of Native American society within the United States.\u00a0 According to students, it was a \u201ctopic that is left overlooked\u201d and needs to be addressed especially in today\u2019s age.<\/p>\n
