The full breadth and richness of this tradition unfolds in Native Athletes in Sport and Society, which highlights the accomplishments of Indigenous athletes in the United States and Canada but also explores what these accomplishments have meant to Native American spectators and citizens alike.Native athletes in sport and societyIndian athletesUnited StatesHistoryIndians of North AmericaSportsHistoryIndians of North AmericaSocial conditionsIndian athletesHistory.Indians of North AmericaSportsHistory.Indians of North AmericaSocial conditions.796/.089/97King C.
