In honor of Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we recognize and honor the 11 Sovereign Tribal Nations in Minnesota and acknowledge the Indigenous history, culture, and traditions that continue to shape our community today. Here in Warroad, that connection is an important part of who we are and the pride we carry as the Warroad Warriors. Warroad has a proud heritage, and nowhere is that pride more evident than in our passion for our Community, our School, and our sports.

Warroad, known in Ojibwe as Kah-Bay-Kay-Nong, is connected to the historic “War Road” trail, a route associated with conflicts between the Ojibwe (Chippewa) and Sioux (Dakota) peoples. This history reflects the deep cultural and historical significance of the Anishinaabe and Ojibwe people who have lived, and continue to live, in this region. The historical legend behind the Warroad Warriors name and logo carries its own legacy. Local history, Ay-Ash-A-Wash was an early Ojibwe chief in the Warroad area during the conflicts between the Ojibwe and Dakota peoples. During one of the final battles near the Two Rivers, approximately 40 miles west of Warroad, along what became known as the “War Trail,” Ay-Ash-A-Wash was severely wounded. Believed by many to have been lost in battle, he eventually made his way back to Warroad several days later. His return brought great relief and celebration to those who had feared he did not survive. Years later, following his father’s passing, Na-May-Poke became chief. Remembered as a wise man who valued education, Na-May-Poke sold a portion of his land allotment along the Warroad River to establish the first Warroad School. He offered the land at a generous price and requested that the name Warriors be used for athletic competition to honor those who had fallen in battle on this sacred land. His request is honored, as Warroad teams carry the Warriors name with pride.

Today, being a Warroad Warrior represents more than athletic achievement. It connects us to the history of this land, the resilience of the people who came before us, and the generations who continue to shape our community. We honor our ancestors, elders, families, and Tribal Nations whose histories and contributions remain an essential part of Warroad, Minnesota. We recognize the responsibility we share to preserve this history, respect its meaning, and ensure that future generations understand the significance behind the name they proudly represent.

We are proud to be the Warroad Warriors, not only for what the name represents today, but for the history, resilience, sacrifice, and heritage that gave it meaning.
