Controversy

In 2012, The Oregon Department of Education issued a ban on all Native American mascots. However, in 2016 they approved a resolution allowing to keep such mascots by 2017 with a federally recognized tribe. The Scappoose School District came to an agreement with The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde allowing them to keep the mascot. A petition was opened in 2020 calling on the Scappoose School District to change the mascot. This petition got over 1,000 signatures. However, many showed support for the "Indian" mascot and didn't want to see a change because the mascot is a symbol of "Pride and strength." [7] [8] [9] [10]

The use of terms and images referring to Native Americans/First Nations as the name or mascot for a sports team is a topic of public controversy in the United States and in Canada, arising as part of the Native American/First Nations civil rights movements. The retirement of the Washington Redskins and the Cleveland Indians has tipped public opinion in favor of eliminating Native mascots by public school, more states considering or passing legislation to do so, heeding tribal leaders who have advocating for change for decades.
