Please keep the Indian as the Napa High mascot. This recognizes and memorializes the Native Americans that resided in the Napa Valley in a way nothing else has accomplished. Bruce Macler '70

Taking this piece of Napa history away is unforgivable.

Please keep our mascot. We always treated it with the highest respect and revered the strength and dignity of the Indian. Three generations of Indians in our family

Napa High School Indians have served this Valley for well over 100 years. The integrity, service and tradition is proudly and respectfully displayed in it's mascot. I am just one of many family members, over multiple generations who represent NHS. ONCE AN INDIAN, ALWAYS AN INDIAN!

Is it degrading for the US Government to use Indian for ethinic identity.

As a class of '70 graduate, I am PROUD to be an Indian. This name is in NO way derogatory. The local Wappo indians have 10,000 years of ancestry here. Napa actually got it's name (land of plenty) from the Wappo language. Napa High School has always been the home of the Indians and always should be. Shame on anyone trying to change that proud history!

I graduated at Napa High and I want our Indian to remain where its always been. We honored him by never walking on him.

Class of 1970. Save the Indians!!! What's the alternative? The Indigenous Species? The Lefties? The Righteous Whiners.

Being chosen as a school mascot should be considered an honor. As seen with Justin-Sienna, the Wappo tribe seems to agree. As the former custodians of this beautiful valley its only natural we would want to honor them in this fashion
