There are 254 schools in the USA with the word indian in the name.
The word "Indian" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to the country's long and complex history with Native American peoples. As European settlers expanded westward, many regions and landmarks were named after the Indigenous tribes who originally inhabited the land, and these names were often extended to local institutions, including schools. Furthermore, throughout much of the 19th and 20th centuries, there was a widespread tendency to use Native American symbols and terms in public culture, sometimes as a way of honoring Indigenous heritage, but often without deep understanding or respect for the true cultural meanings. In some cases, schools adopted the word "Indian" or related names to reflect local history, geographical features, or to establish a unique identity for their communities. Today, however, this practice is being reconsidered as educators and communities learn more about cultural sensitivity and the importance of respecting the identities and histories of Native American peoples.
