Answer: A) stereotypes of Native Americans.

Fred Veilleux states that Native Americans are often depicted as "mascots," such as in the case of the Washington Redskins, a professional football team. Such mascots are stereotypes of Native Americans, and their use diminishes the importance of the Native Americans' culture and historical legacy.
