RED WING, Minn. – A provision in the education bill passed in the special legislative session will allow the Red Wing School District to keep its mascot, logo, and name.
The city is named after Dakota Chief Red Wing. The high school’s teams are called the Wingers and they use a red feather and eagle for their logo and mascot.
Language in the education bill changes a state law that required all of Minnesota’s tribal nations to approve mascots and names.
The update only requires approval from the tribe closest to the district and the Prairie Island Indian Community is supporting Red Wing schools.
