POCATELLO, Idaho (KIFI/KIDK) - During Tuesday night s regular meeting, the School District 25 Board of Trustees unanimously voted to replace the Pocatello Indians with the Pocatello Thunder.
Randy L Teton, the Public Affairs Director for the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes, spoke in favor of the Board s decision to retire the Indians mascot, saying this is something the Tribes have been requesting since the 90s.
After retiring the Indians mascot in September, the Board asked for public input to find the new identity for the district s oldest high school. The district conducted a survey to find the community s favorite mascot choice.
