A History of the Dowagiac Chieftain
|
The Dowagiac Union Schools have used the nickname "Chieftains" since 1928; however, there has never been an officially adopted logo. As a result, a variety of Chieftain head renditions have been used throughout the years. In March, 1990, the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians Tribal Council and the Dowagiac Board of Education signed a joint resolution to ensure the spirit of mutual cooperation and respect for any future generations. Included in the agreement was the adoption of an official logo accurately depicting a Potawatomi Indian Chief. The logo was created and designed by Ron Mix, a member of the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians, who lives in Dowagiac. 269-782-6323.) |
