jordibug15 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Look out PNG they gonna be getting yall next... From my understanding PNG has nothing to worry about. They have papers signed by a Cherokee tribe giving PNG permission to use the things they do.

Coach85 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 You are correct RaiderGirl92. There is a ceritified document from a Cherokee tribe that actually came to visit and watch what they do at PNG and approved of everything and thought very highly and appreciated them for honoring the Cherokee Nation. The Document set in the museum for high school football in Austin for a little while I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDNation Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 From Wikipedia: The choice of "Indians" as the PN–G school nickname in 1925 was probably influenced by the area's rich local history. Port Neches was once the home of the only Native American village in Jefferson County, Texas. As early as 500 AD, Nacazil, Attakapas, Karankawa and other Native American tribes made their homes on a high bluff overlooking the Neches River that later became the city of Port Neches. In 1980, amid controversy over the use of the team name, Port Neches–Groves High School was presented with the official seal of the Cherokee Nation, guaranteeing PN-G's students the right to be called "Indians." If you've been to a PN-G game, then you know that we take it seriously and honor all things "Indian". PS, Please refrain from leaving negative comments about an Indian wearing jingle bells :D Octfeb and Mr. Buddy Garrity 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachdaddy Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 My son's first time to see the 50 yard line dance, he said" Dad what is that purple turkey doing on the field?"
