Why hasn't PNG been confronted by native American tribes? The mascot is somewhat offensive.

From PNG website:

Indians
 

cherokeeseal.jpgThe choice of "Indians" as the PN-G school nickname in 1925 was likely influenced by the rich local history.  Port Neches was once the home of the only Indian village in Jefferson County, Texas. 

As early as 500 AD, Nacazil, Attakapas, Karankawa and other Indian tribes once made their home on a high bluff overlooking the Neches River that later became  the town of Port Neches. 

In 1980, Port Neches-Groves High School was presented the official seal of the Cherokee Nation.  An endorsement by the tribal chief was also obtained.

Although controversy surrounds the use of school mascots or nicknames that reflect Native American culture, Port Neches-Groves continues to incorporate the rich traditions and reflect that with great honor and pride.

Move on..... this topic would be dead on arrival! We would love for some Liberal puppy fans to bring that up in the media. We have the seal of the Cherokee Nation as well as their FULL endorsement. We respect the name, their code, and everything that it entails.....Honor, Pride, Tradition!!
