THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2003 An Arizona high school plans to apologize to the White Mountain Apache Tribe for recent incidents that tribal members say are indicative of the shoddy treatment they have been receiving. Students from Show Low High School chanted "We pay taxes, yes we do; We pay taxes, how about you?" at a recent game with Alchesay High School, a school on the Apache Reservation. A parent at another game was cited for misdemeanor assault and disorderly conduct after allegedly grabbing a player from the Apache team. Tribal members say they have been treated differently since last year's devastating Rodeo-Chedeski fire, which started on the reservation. Get the Story:
