Given the literature, one might safely assume that if American Indian mascots are regarded as negative stereotypes then their psychological effects will also be negative.

A stereotype accessibility perspective (Bodenhausen & Macrae, [ 2]; Dijksterhuis & van Knippenberg, [15]; Kawakami et al., [33]; Macrae et al., [39]) suggests that if American Indians are frequently and consistently associated with only a few traits, images or behavioral tendencies, then powerful, hard-to-break, mental links or stereotypes will be formed between the social category "American Indian" and these behaviors or traits (Dijksterhuis & van Knippenberg, [15]; Major & Eccleston, [40]).

One consequence of this relative invisibility is that the views of most Americans about American Indians are formed and fostered by indirectly acquired information

Contemporary American Indians, for example, exist beyond the reach of most Americans. That is, most Americans have no direct, personal experience with American Indians (Pewewardy, [60]).

Stereotypes are cognitive tools that people use to form impressions of others (Gilbert & Hixon, [24]; Macrae, Milne, & Bodenhausen, [38]). They are persistent features of human discourse, and the media is a powerful source and communicator of this discourse (Blair & Banaji, [ 1]; Davies, Spencer, Quinn, & Gerhardstein, [10]; Devine, [14]; Macrae, Bodenhausen, Milne, Thorn, & Castelli, [37]). Stereotypes are particularly powerful when the target group (i.e., the group represented by the stereotype) is unfamiliar. As Lippman ([36]) wrote in his original definition, stereotypes are "pictures in the head of the world beyond our reach."
