Students and administrators in one New York school district are wrestling with how to respond to the state’s newly approved ban on the use of Native American-themed logos and names.
The logo of the Salamanca City Central School District is seen on the football field turf in Salamanca, N.Y., on April 18, 2023.-
But as New York joins states moving to ban schools’ use of Indigenous nicknames and mascots because they diminish Native cultures, the tribe may have the last say over whether the logo stays. "The logo really represents us as a community," said Marijah Skye, a 17-year-old student and Seneca citizen. "I’m really not comfortable going to the Seneca Nation and having them potentially be the bad guy here," Beehler said in an interview.
The flags of the Seneca Nation of Indians, Salamanca City Central School District and United States fly over the sports complex in Salamanca. "We believe the state’s provision for agreements between school districts and Native nations should be rare and limited.""We believe the state’s provision for agreements between school districts and Native nations should be rare and limited, rather than an open invitation for districts to go ‘approval shopping’ among Native nations," Armstrong said.
