Native American Mascot Debate Rages on in Amesbury

The Amesbury High School Indian mascot could face retirement for the second time in five years after the School Committee voted unanimously last month to create a special committee to examine the issue. The former Amesbury Fighting Indian – now simply known as the Amesbury Indian – has been the school’s mascot for more than 75 years. A group of students are leading the charge to change the mascot.
