With the newly energized movement against racism in the country it is understandable how organizations like the Washington Redskins and Cleveland Indians are being pushed to change their offensive logos and name. However, the James Caldwell High School mascot does not convey the same offensiveness as the two teams prior. The area of the Caldwells actually was inhabited by Lenape native Americans and having the Chief symbol is a reminder of the history of the area and pays homage to the strong and intelligent people that had been wronged  by early settlers. The word "chief" itself is one of the greatest honors one could receive and it represents a leader. As we as a society continue to push for change, we can't forget our past. This symbol once again isn't a symbol of racism, but an acknowledgement of our past and a symbol of the strength and power the once great Lenape tribe had. Even though this may not be a statue it should be viewed as one, for it is a monument in remembrance of what tribe was once here and taking it away will only push our history with Native Americans farther into the past to be forgotten.
