In the late 80s early 90s the Warroad Indian Community, The Indian Education Department and the Warroad Indian Parent Committee supported keeping the name Warroad Warriors. It still does today! We are proud of what the Warriors represent. Warroad (Kah-Bay-Kah-Nong) derived from War-Road, a trail to the west where the Warriors (Our Ancestors) traveled down to fight and battle the Sioux. We fought many fierce battles and won the war, keeping our land on Lake of the Woods. This is what the name is all about, and we are proud to have it. The Indian Parent Committee, and the Warroad Indian Community designed the logo for our school and we use it today and wear it with pride. We havent had a mascot in 40 years. This issue should be left to the communities to decide. Warroad decided once, and well keep the name! The National Coalition, and members David Glass, Clyde Belcourt, Michelle Mills, Norma, Renville, and Alan Yelsey who instigated this issue with Warroad, along with their lawyers using donated monies and wasting it on this law suit only want fame and national recognition. They should feed the homeless and use the money for something good.
