Leave the Dartmouth Indian Name and Logo Alone [OPINION]
The Dartmouth Indian may be bound for the happy hunting ground. The Dartmouth School Committee could decide soon whether or not to remove the Dartmouth Indians name and logo from the public school system.
The committee s Equity & Diversity Subcommittee has considered making a recommendation to remove the name and logo because some believe they are offensive to Native Americans. The enlightened elitists feel they must step in to defend the honor of the Indigenous people. However, the Holy Wokeness forgot to ask the Indians for their opinion about all of this.

First member of Aquinnah Wampanoag to attend Harvard Law driven by sense of community Gal Tziperman Lotan © Jessica Rinaldi/Globe Staff Samantha Maltais will be the first member of the Wampanoag Tribe to enroll at Harvard Law School.
Samantha Maltais’ mother likes to tell the story of how her then 7-year-old grew angry over a violent raid on a smoke shop that led to the arrests of members of the Narragansett Indian Tribe. “Don’t these people know we have rights?” the child had asked.
Maltais doesn’t remember asking that, but the story reflects her understanding, even at a young age, of how the law impacts day-to-day lives of Native people. She grew up on Martha’s Vineyard listening to tribal council meetings for the Aquinnah Wampanoag and to consultations with the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Her mother, Cheryl Andrews-Maltais, is chairwoman of the tribe.
