The Indian is a respected early resident of our valley, long before white men were here. Calling them Indians, although PC might say, Native Americans, is still not disrespectful

As a 1964 graduate of Napa High School, I view the Napa Indian mascot as symbol of unity that has consistently been presented in a respectful manner. Retain it as is.

Being a Napa Indian gives recognition to the natives that inhabited our valley long before we did. It is in their honor we stand as Indians.

We need to do this for Elizabeth Warren. Maybe she will donate some money.

I am proud to have been an Indian and know in my mind and my heart that being an Indian is a very good thing. There never has been anything derogatory meant by the Mascot being an Indian, only proud students.

Please keep this name. As a Class of '64 graduate, I'm proud to have the Indian as our school mascot. After all, American Indians are part of all of our history!

Why would any one change the name of our school.? It's history. It is racist thing to do especially now a days.

Absolute BS to let a handful of outsiders influence this decision. Graduates of actual Indian blood are in favor of keeping the Indian mascot.

There is no good reason to do that. Graduates of Napa High with actual Indian blood are for keeping the mascot. A handful of outsiders are the key opponents. Do we let outsiders run, make that ruin, our community? Kirk Kirkpatrick, Class of 1968, Napa, CA
