Dartmouth Indian

Dartmouth School Superintendent Dr. Bonny Gifford said the Indian logo is 'a sign of honor' that 'should be celebrated' as it will soon be hoisted in the gym.

Plaques honoring the Dartmouth High School Indian name and logo are now in place at the school and the Memorial Stadium football field.

As the Dartmouth School Committee voted last month to keep the Indian name and logo, the question has arisen – could students opt out of the Indian?

The Dartmouth School Committee voted 3-1, with one member abstaining, to keep the Indian name and Native American logo for Dartmouth Public Schools.

Voters in Dartmouth have affirmed by an overwhelming margin that they want to keep the school district's Indian symbol, and have made a few changes to boards and committees in Tuesday's town election.

An increase in COVID cases in Massachusetts has some asking if they need to wear a mask or have proof of vaccination to vote in Dartmouth's election next week.

Attorney and Wampanoag tribal member Sean Carney offered insight into the tribe's take on the Dartmouth Indian logo, ahead of the April 5 non-binding vote.
