About 27 Native Americans in a community of 27,045.
Boston Globe, 4/11/2021
When residents ultimately vote in an April 27 referendum, the ballot question is technically non-binding. It also will come a full month after the town’s school committee already voted to eliminate the school’s Native American logo — a stern-faced caricature of an Indigenous person, its head framed by a headdress. (The panel opted to keep the “Warrior” nickname.)
But its transformation into a polarizing political contest is laying bare the generational tension between what some in the predominantly white town view as a source of pride and others say is racist and derogatory imagery.
From this to this.
