Still, the gym has this huge, beautiful painting of nearby Penobscot Nation with the caption "Old Town Indians." And, the name of the island home of the Penobscot Nation remains, "Indian Island." I worked a playoff soccer game last month that featured Indian Island Middle School (Warriors).
The lack of verbal parallelism never ceases to baffle me.

There has been overkill in VT where one school was forced to drop "Crusaders" as a moniker, and another pressured to drop the southern looking Colonel as the face of their mascot. Another school, who is honoring "Indian Joe", who helped a lot of the early settlers in the area, has refused to back down from their school nickname, although they did sand down the center circle a few years ago.
Has Nokomis been forced to change their nickname?
