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…

Wildcats improve to 6-1; Chiefs fall to 4-2.
After a shaky start, the Plymouth Wildcats' defense came up big when it counted most en route to a playoff-clinching 28-21 victory over the cross-campus rival Canton Chiefs. After giving up 150 first-half yards to the Chiefs' Malcolm Hollingsworth and spotting Canton an early 21-6 lead, the Wildcats' defense clamped down and limited the speedy running back to just 14 second-half yards. The defense came up with a key stop late in the third quarter when the Wildcats' Nate Emminger made a touchdown-saving tackle on a run by the Chiefs' Kendall Scott, and followed it with another stop inside their own 10-yard-line, forcing a field goal attempt that the Wildcats' special teams blocked and recovered at the Chiefs' 30. The Wildcats took …

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 ›
