Education board to consider
Indian mascot exceptions
SALEM — After four years of debate,
the Oregon Board of Education is poised
to consider a compromise Thursday to
its strict policy banning American Indian
mascots.
The ban, enacted in 2012, is due to
take effect July 1, 2017, unless the board
adopts the more lenient policy. Fifteen
school districts could be affected, including
Molalla High School and Warrenton High
School.
Legislation in 2014 required the Board
of Education to develop rules providing for
an exception to the ban. In May, the board
rejected another proposal for an exception.
The board has until January 2017 to adopt
a rule. It was unclear Tuesday how board
members would receive the latest proposal.

The proposal under consideration
Thursday would allow a public school to
keep an American Indian mascot when it
reaches a written agreement with one of
Oregon’s nine federally recognized tribes.
The school board would be required to hold
a public hearing on the mascot and accept
oral and written comments. A tribe would
be allowed to revoke an agreement prior to
its expiration date.
The proposal has received mixed
reviews from American Indians. Some
oppose all forms of Indian mascots.
Others, such as the Confederated Tribes
of Grand Ronde, say tribes, as sovereign
governments, deserve the right to check off
on mascots that highlight their culture.
The Grand Ronde, for instance,
is supportive of mascots that feature
“warriors,” “braves” and “chiefs” in its
name.

BUNDY’S COMMU-
NITY OUTREACH
Bundy has had trouble
winning many friends who
aren’t militants, or even
¿nding a place where he
could spell out his views to
people living near the refuge.
His plans to hold a commu-
nity meeting at the local fair-
ground tanked when Harney
County said he couldn’t hold
it there.
Still, Bundy isn’t giving
up. On Monday night, Bundy
held a meeting at a hot springs
resort near Crane, Oregon,
where he tried to persuade 30
or so ranchers to stop paying
the federal government to
graze their cattle on public
lands. It does not appear he
persuaded many to follow
his advice.
WILL
PUSHBACK
BY
CONSERVATION
GROUPS HAVE ANY
IMPACT?
Bundy’s most fervent
supporters — those holed
up inside headquarters
of the wildlife refuge —
continue to be militants from
outside Oregon. Bundy has
demanded federal lands in
Harney County be handed
over to locals. While many
local residents want Bundy
and his group to leave,
they also back his views
on federal land policies.
Bundy’s game plan may be
to continue to try to win local
support and to draw attention
to his complaints against the
federal government.

Protesters hold signs during a rally against the occupa-
tion of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge while at
the Federal Building in Eugene on Tuesday.
OCCUPATION
On Tuesday, several
hundred people rallied in
Portland — about 300 miles
north of the remote refuge in
southeastern Oregon — to
demand Bundy end the occu-
pation and to point out that
federal management makes
it possible for all kinds of
people to enjoy public lands.
Protesters chanted “Birds,
Not Bullies,” a reference to
the Malheur refuge’s creation
in 1908 as a preserve and
breeding ground for native
birds. The rally was orga-
nized by Oregon Wild, Port-
land Audubon and the Center
for Biological Diversity.
“This
occupation
represents a threat to public
lands,” said Bob Sallinger
with the Audubon Society.
“These are not political state-
ments. These are crimes.”
In Boise, more than 100
people attended a similar
protest Tuesday in front of the
Idaho Capitol. Ann Finley,
a member of the Great Old
Broads for Wilderness, said
that the refuge is a special
place.
“I love our free lands,
and we’re out here today
stepping out and saying those
lands should remain public,”
Finley said.
Conservation groups have
also shown up at the refuge
itself to demand that Bundy
and his followers leave,
and last weekend got into a
shouting match with Bundy’s
group.

PORTLAND (AP) — The
leader of an armed group
who took over a national
wildlife refuge in south-
eastern Oregon weeks ago
attended a tense community
meeting and listened as resi-
dents chanted at him to “go,
go, go.”
Ammon Bundy didn’t
speak at the Tuesday night
meeting in Burns for resi-
dents to talk about the armed
occupation of the Malheur
National Wildlife Refuge
which began earlier this
month.
Some of the several
hundred
community
members spoke to Bundy
directly. One thanked him
for raising awareness around
issues of public lands, but
told him it’s time to go home
to his family.
Many others were less
congenial and voiced anger
at Bundy’s group as well as
the local and federal govern-
ment for what some said was
a lack of effort to end the
takeover.
Bundy and his small posse
left after the meeting without
incident.
More information on the
meeting was not available by
press time.
With the armed takeover
of a national wildlife refuge
in southeastern Oregon in its
third week, Ammon Bundy
and his group are still trying
to muster up broad commu-
nity support — so far without
much luck.
Bundy has drawn a lot of
attention to the dissatisfaction
of ranchers and local towns-
folk with federal land-use
policies in the West. But the
occupation of the Malheur
National Wildlife Refuge
has also begun to result in
pushback from others who
use public lands — birders,
hunters and hikers, among
others.
Here are some things to
know about how conserva-
tion groups are trying to rally
public pressure on Bundy
to leave, and what Bundy
is doing to try to win more
sympathizers.
