BOSTON (AP) Native Americans are gathering in Boston on Friday to remember Indigenous peoples who have been killed, gone missing or subjected to violence.

That’s despite decades of objections by Native Americans and others claiming the mascots were offensive. As the ongoing debate heated up, many schools also removed or replaced their mascots. But, as two recent votes in Massachusetts demonstrate, not everybody supports the change. ....

Wakefield residents voted in favor of keeping Native American school mascot


updated on April 28, 2021 | 7:03 PM
Wakefield residents voted Tuesday in favor of keeping the town’s school logo, despite the Native American imagery being labeled as racist.
The non-binding vote came just weeks after the town’s School Committee voted to take on a new logo the current one depicts a Native American man wearing a headdress but keep the “Warriors” name.
Wakefield’s debate is taking place after school districts and other places across the country have voted to replace their Indigenous-themed mascots. Hanover High School eliminated its Native American-themed mascot last summer and opted for a public campaign to find a new one. Merrimack Valley High School in Concord, New Hampshire, removed its Native American mascot from its school logo in late 2019. ....
