The Ketchikan Gateway Borough School District is investigating allegations of racial insensitivity during a basketball game against Metlakatla, after photos posted online showed Ketchikan students dressed up in cowboy hats, cowboy boots and flannel shirts.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A high school boys basketball game this past Saturday night between Ketchikan and Metlakatla continues to receive attention for what happened off the court, rather than on it.
The Ketchikan Gateway Borough School District is investigating allegations of racial insensitivity during the game, after photos from the game posted online showed a group of students dressed up in cowboy hats, cowboy boots and flannel shirts. Latonya Galles attended last Saturday’s game in Ketchikan to cheer on her son, who plays for the Metlakatla Chiefs. She felt the students were dressed up as cowboys, and felt that was culturally inappropriate as the entire Metlakatla team is Tsimshian.Galles said over the phone. “... Even if it was planned a month ago or if it was planned last minute, it was like a deliberate slap in the face to us.
