Jamestown seems in store for the same sort of discussions.

Echo’s petition said: “With a renewed energy and focus on fighting racial injustice and with communities and individuals working hard to promote a culture of anti-racism personally and within their own communities, we would like to petition the Jamestown Public School District to change the name “Jamestown Red Raiders” and remove any Native American imagery from their logo and all sports/school paraphernalia/buildings, etc.”

The petition has the support of the Seneca Nation of Indians and other groups.

The Jamestown district has limited its use of Native American imagery in the last decade and changed its logo for all its athletic teams to a “J” with a feather.

The petition references, “This display of feathers is a common nod to Native American culture, and implies an appropriation of Native American head wear.”

A counterpetition to keep the name and logo started by Melissa Paterniti, a 1993 Jamestown graduate, has 1,214 signatures.

“I’ve said for 30-plus years, ‘Once a Red Raider always a Red Raider,’ ” she wrote. “It’s more then a name it’s FAMILY TO US!! Still after graduating 27 years ago I’m still very close with many of my Former Red Raider classmates, teammates and TEACHERS!!! We PRIDE OURSELVES IN THE NAME RED RAIDER!!”
