Here's a follow-up on this controversy; the local citizens voted 3 to1 to keep their town's logo depicting a white man attacking an indian. And if you read this item, you can't help but feel that the arguments being made by the village clerk as to what the logo is actually attempting to show, is a load of crap:

And while it might be true that the town's name was not intended to reflect the demographic makeup of the population of the village (it was taken from the surname of the town's founder), you have to admit that when looked at in the context of the logo controversy and the asinine claims of what it means by the village clerk, they probably should take a vote on choosing a new name as well. It wouldn't be the first time that a town has changed their name to remove a reference to something that the locals would like the rest of the world to forget. Just check out the original name of the city of Eastpointe, MI for just such an example.
