Wampanoag tribe members from Aquinnah sent a letter to Dartmouth's School Committee on Monday urging them to keep the district's Indian logo ahead of a forum on the issue on Tuesday.
Barry Richard believes the idea of a name and logo change for the Dartmouth Indians is not supported by most in town and certainly not by the Wampanoag people.
All Dartmouth residents, and members of tribes with connections to the town, should be heard on the issue of whether or not to change the school's mascot.
