MASCOT CONTROVERSY Issaquah is an Indian/ Native American name and the name was past down to generation after generation. In the early 2000s , the school changed its Mascot from the Indians, a mascot the school had previously held for nearly 100 years, to the Eagles. The change came about due to political-correctness concerns, after The Church Council of Greater Seattle adopted a resolution calling for an end to all Native American imagery in school mascots in 2001 . The change went into effect in 2003 after working with the Snoqualmie Tribe to develop an image which they approved of. REFERENCES
