A Wisconsin high school is fighting to keep its nickname, the Indians, despite a state deadline that decreed schools would have to change names and logos relating to Native Americans.

The deadline for Mukwonago High School to change its mascot was Aug. 15, but pending litigation by Mukwongao’s school district got the deadline pushed back to Oct. 8. If Mukwonago refuses to comply, it could face a daily $1,000 fine for every day that Indians remains.

ACT 250 was signed by Governor James Doyle in 2010. It bans race-based nicknames, logos, mascots and team names if a complainant objects. Mukwonago has argued that its inability to call the complainant to testify violates due process.

As of 2012, the statute had changed more than half of Wisconsin’s 65 high schools with Native American mascots.

Lawmakers in the Wisconsin State Assembly are drafting legislation to repeal ACT 250. According to Fox 6, the bill has support from 25 members and could be introduced on the floor in the coming weeks. The Wisconsin Indian Education Association has already spoken out against any potential repeal.
