Isn't it nice that Chilhowie uses Indian names for mascots? But they slaughtered the Indians and took their land. Maybe they couldn't come up with a cute white man mascot. So they had to borrow the Indian one, like the ghost of those they murdered. Put their children in residential schools, took their women, forbid their language, hunted them like animals, gave weapons to their enemies, and rewrote their history to suit.

The people of Chilhowie have their town on websites for the abuse of Indian names, using them for mascots on their schools, an increasingly offensive action.

Below are the names of schools in Chilhowie, Virginia which abuse these names:

Chilhowie Elementary School
130 Lee Hwy.
Chilhowie, Virginia 24319
Phone: (540) 646-8220
mascot - Little Warriors
Isn't that cute! They hate the Indians but want a "little warrior" on their school sign. Sounds so warm and fuzzy.

mascot - Warriors

Chilhowie Middle School
