Opinion: Time to retire the Dartmouth Indian logo

Apr 8, 2021
To the editor:
 
After reading many articles in local publications about the lack of action on the Indian logo, it's long overdue and time that we retire the Dartmouth High School Indian mascot.
 
A better way to honor our Native American heritage would be to join 15 other Massachusetts school districts and show our respect for the indigenous people.
 
We applaud the Dartmouth High School's diversity curriculum and the conversations around the Native American Indians and Dartmouth High School's logo.
 
Change is never easy but it is the right thing to do.
