Mascot lawsuit

In 1999, the Salmon School Board was threatened by the National Coalition on Racism in Sports and the Media with a $100,000 lawsuit if they did not change the schools mascot, the Savages. [10] Members of the coalition stated that Native American mascots were derogatory especially since the name was Savages. [10] The school board ultimately chose to get rid of the logo featuring a Native American head but retained the Savages name. [10] [11] The current logo is a nod to grizzly bears in the nearby Salmon-Challis National Forest.
