California tribe opposes high school mascot

A California high school’s use of the “Indians” mascot has sparked controversy after a Native American tribe stated that school officials did not obtain permission to use the name. Ripon High School, which has been without a mascot since a state law banning tribal-themed mascots took effect, claimed to have received tribal approval, but the tribe denied any consent. The dispute arises from California’s Racial Mascots Act, which prohibits Native American-related school mascots unless written approval is given by a recognized tribe, a loophole schools are attempting to utilize. Similar issues have involved Marysville High School, which is seeking tribal authorization to restore its mascot.
