SD High School Will Change Sports Mascot After Being Asked By National Non-Profit

[hettinger_rl]

McLaughlin High School is located on the Standing Rock Reservation in north central South Dakota. They have used the nickname in question since 1929 and its surprising that only now this has happened.

Butternut and Hurley in my state I expect will soon follow.

When you said Reservation and South Dakota I assumed it would just be another Native American/tribe case (although it'd be admittedly weird if a national non-profit asked a high school on a Reservation to not use a Native American mascot), so I was surprised when it turned out the mascot in question is a "midget".

So they'll become the McLaughlin High School Little People?

Nah - they'll go with Fighting Sioux

Apparently they are letting the students decide.

Dicksinson High School in North Dakota still uses Midgets.
