Minnesota is one of a few states that have passed laws banning public schools from using any nicknames, logos or mascots tied to Indigenous people.
While public backlash against Native American stereotypes has pushed professional and college sports teams to change their names, high schools across the U.S. continue to use Native American-themed mascots and logos.
Menahga High School is located about three hours north of Minneapolis, embedded right between the White Earth and Leech Lake reservations. Braves is the nickname of the school district, but now officials are tasked with tallying up the cost to erase the name.Menahga previously dropped its Indigenous mascot logo for the letter"M," but district officials are trying another approach to keep their Braves name.
To get an exemption, school districts must get permission from all 11 federally recognized tribal nations in Minnesota and the state's Tribal Nations Education Committee. If any parties oppose the exemption by Dec. 15, then the school's request will be denied.
