Mother says atmosphere at Wells football game mocked Native Americans

The mother of a Micmac Indian who plays football for Lisbon High School alleges that fans and players mocked Native Americans with offensive stereotypes throughout Friday’s game at Wells High School.

Wells fans — both students and adults — were “running around with hands over their mouths,” making whooping sounds, and banging on drums and 5-gallon buckets with offensive chants, said Amelia Tuplin, whose 16-year-old son Lucas Francis, is Lisbon’s quarterback.
