The Snoqualmie Tribe of Washington has changed its mind on Indian mascots, according to chairman Joseph Mullen.

Mullen and his brother met with the Issaquah School District to discuss a high school's "Indians" mascot. The district subsequently banned offensive nicknames and mascots.

But Mullen has written a letter to a local resident and said the tribe opposed the removal.
