Calls For Port Neches-Groves Indian Mascot to be Retired

The Port Neches-Groves Indians have become the latest target of the online #NotYourMascot movement, which calls for sports teams to do away with Native American-inspired mascots and traditions that they consider racist acts of cultural appropriation. In early July, the Cherokee Nation jumped into the fray by formally requesting that PN-G High School do away with the Indians name and all associated traditions. On Monday afternoon, the National Congress of American Indians — America’s oldest and largest social welfare organization representing Native Americans — also reached out to the leaders of Port Neches-Groves High School
