Maine
Thank you to Mr. Ed Rice for patience and providing the following October 2010 update on the current institutionalized use of American Indian sports team tokens by public school in
the State of Maine. Author, advocate, and educator, Mr. Rice's website is at Sockalexis.InfoMr. Rice wrote:
"I found there are really only 9 schools left in Maine doing this:
"3 elementary schools (Athens Apaches, Strong Indians and the Indian school, Beatrice Rafferty, in Perry*),
* Note: It is the general policy of AISTM.org to exclude American Indian specific schools from these related listings.
"0 (Zero!) junior high/middle schools, and just"6 high schools (Wells Warriors, Nokomis Warriors of Newport, Southern Aroostook Warriors, "Skowhegan Indians, and the two most egregious, Sanford Redskins and Wiscasset Redskins).
"I believe the Fort Kent Community High School should be dropped from the "list after speaking with principal Tim Doak…who has eliminated all use of "icons "(including an Indian head on the gym floor) and has the school "moving towards a '“generic”' Warrior that offers NO American Indian "representation."
