Native students protest mascot

WEDNESDAY, MAY 15, 2002

Native American students in Washington are protesting a delay involving their school's "Indians" mascot.

West Seattle High School officials gave no timetable for postponing a decision on the mascot, angering the Native American Club. The group and its supporters will demonstrate today against the mascot.

At a preliminary vote last week, students rejected the Indians as their mascot. They narrowed the field to Wildcats, Wolves and Ravens.
