Today, Monday August 18th, the National Coalition Against Racism in Sports and Media Board of Directors met with Mr. Henry Boucha an Ojibwe/Annishinabeg respected leader and elder. Henry Boucha educated the Board on the history of the Warroad community and logo. Out of further review we the National Coalition Against Racism Sports and Media Board in respecting the culture and history of the Warroad Indigenous community offer our apologies to the elders and community. We rescind our letter of Friday the 15th to the Warroad School Board with regard to litigation. Henry Boucha and the Warroad Community also respect and support the efforts of the National Coalition Against Racism in Sports and Media and their attempt to educate and eradicate harmful mascots and logos that do irreparable harm and denigrate our community. Mr. Boucha has agreed to continue the dialogue and become a board member of the National Coalition Against Racism in Sports and Media.
