The Massapequa School District has filed an amended lawsuit to keep their "The Chiefs" logo and name after a judge threw out a previous suit in March.
Both lawsuits challenge a 2023 New York state regulation banning Native American names and imagery from school mascots and logos.
Last week, the national nonprofit called the Native American Guardians Association joined the districts fight to keep the name.
The district risks losing state aid if it doesn’t comply by June.
