In 2012, The Oregon Department of Education issued a ban on all Native American mascots. However, in 2016 they approved a resolution allowing to keep such mascots by 2017 with a federally recognized tribe. The Scappoose School District came to an agreement with The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde allowing them to keep the mascot. A petition was opened in 2020 calling on the Scappoose School District to change the mascot. This petition got over 1,000 signatures. However, many showed support for the "Indian" mascot and didn't want to see a change because the mascot is a symbol of "Pride and strength."[7] [8] [9] [10]
