MOSES LAKE — Crews work to remove the Chiefs sign from the front of Moses Lake High School Wednesday. The school district was forced to change its mascot to the Mavericks after a state law was passed requiring public entities to review their usage of Native American imagery and receive permission from the nearest tribal authority to continue using Native themes. The tribes of the Colville Reservation declined to allow the continued use of the Indigenous imagery to all requesters earlier this year.
