The 2,128 Native American Mascots People Aren’t Talking About | FiveThirtyEight

"I searched the database and found 2,129 sports teams that reference Braves, Chiefs, Indians, Orangemen, Raiders, Redmen, Reds, Redskins, Savages, Squaws, Tribe and Warriors, as well as tribe names such as Apaches, Arapahoe, Aztecs, Cherokees, Chickasaws, Chinooks, Chippewas, Choctaws, Comanches, Eskimos, Mohawks, Mohicans, Seminoles, Sioux and Utes. (Not all teams with the names ‘Raiders’ and ‘Warriors’ are referencing Native Americans, but we spot-checked 20 schools with each name and a majority of each did.)"
