The Michigan Department of Civil Rights filed a complaint that American Indian nicknames—such as the Chiefs—harm students' education and should be banned.
Should Canton High School change its nickname? The answer is yes, according to the Michigan Department of Civil Rights. The department said that high school nicknames—such as Chiefs for Canton High School—harms students’ education and asked the U.S. Department of Education to ban the use of American Indian mascots, nicknames and “imagery” at the high school level, the Detroit Free Press reports. Canton was one of 35 high schools mentioned in the Michigan Department of Civil Rights’ complaint. "A growing and unrebutted body of evidence now establishes that the use of American Indian imagery reinforces stereotypes in a way that negatively impacts the potential for achievement by students with American Indian ancestry," the department said in…

Festival was set to feature Plymouth Whalers and Plymouth-Canton prep teams to complement Toronto-Detroit Winter Classic in Ann Arbor.
The NHL has canceled the Winter Classic between the Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs, scheduled to take place Jan. 1 at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor before potentially record-breaking crowds, according to the Detroit Free Press. The NHL and its players union have been in a lockout since Sept. 16 amid a dispute over a new collective bargaining agreement, the Free Press reported. According to the Free Press, the cancellation also will scrub the two-week Hockeytown Winter Festival at a second rink in Detroit's Comerica Park, which was set to feature the Plymouth Whalers as part of an Ontario Hockey League doubleheader, as well as a match between Plymouth and Canton high schools.

Rocks, Wildcats, Chiefs notch Friday victories.
Salem is a game away from a state playoff berth after Friday's 14-7 home win against South Lyon, according to the Canton Observer. The Rocks (5-1 overall; 3-1 KLAA Central) will try to earn their sixth win, which would clinch a playoff berth, on Oct. 5 against Livonia Stevenson. Rocks coach Kurt Britnell told the Observer both quarterback Jake Deprez and wideout Michael Hoover were "nicked up" in the win, which leaves the tandem questionable for Week 7. The Plymouth Wildcats also are one win from a playoff berth after a 48-0 rout Friday over Wayne Memorial, according to the Canton Observer. Wildcats quarterback Jamarl Eiland tallied 220 yards and two TDs on Friday, the Observer reported, as Plymouth improved to 5-1 overall and 3-1 in the …

I graduated from Plymouth Canton in 1998. I am also a registered tribal member of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina. Never once did I feel that the use of American Indian mascots, names, terms, graphics and/or other imagery, created a hostile environment or deny me equal rights. I was and still am proud knowing I went to a school that decided to honor my culture by using name and imagery … more ›
