SOUTH BEND – Catholic diocese administrators plan to meet with a Native American historian who objects to the Indian mascot used by St. Joseph’s High School in South Bend.

Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend spokesman Vince LaBarbera said a meeting will take place involving the diocese’s schools superintendent, the high school principal and historian Brian Collier.

LaBarbera told the South Bend Tribune that the meeting set for Friday was “private and preliminary.”

Collier said he’s seen signs such as “Kill the Indians” and “Scalp the Indians” from fans of teams playing St. Joseph’s High and doesn’t think the mascot’s use is appropriate for the 800-student school.
