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 5,500 signatures. [8] 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." [9] [10] [11] [12]
