I am disappointed to see The Dalles continue to clutch desperately to its vile settler history in an evolving world. It’s like it's the early 2000s all over again: the small towns school districts combine, the student majority vote to replace ‘Indians’ from the mascot options...only to be overridden by The Dalles "Indian pride.” Pride in the genocidal heritage of this place?
