A High School in SE Minnesota changed their mascot name from the
Indians to the Wolf Pack. In a gesture of good will and to recognize
the school's (and kid's) efforts at addressing an issue sensitive to
the Lakota in the area (the ones who run Treasure Island Casino) the
tribal leaders asked to come to the school for a presentation. The
school agreed and expected a certificate or some such minor recognition.
The tribal leaders brought and presented a check for $10,000 to the
school in recognition of their efforts.
