Sioux-cia

I don't mean to sound obtuse but does this mean if Spirt Lake decides it's ok, we don't need to have Standing Rock's approval as long as they don't disapprove?

Sorry, as the mother of two GF Central graduates, I can not see myself cheering for the Rough Riders.

I heard a rumor that PCM said that Radke's not popular because he has this secret medical condition! HIPPY, HIPPO, er, HIPPA violation!! Do you think he'll be fired from the team's sudo-medical staff?

I don't understand the settlement. Why do we have to have two tribes agree? Why do they have the option to pull their support any ol' time they please or we don't please? Retire the name. Doesn't matter. The fans will be wearing the Fighting Sioux name and logo, yelling 'Sioux' at the end of the National Anthem and Yeah Sioux Sioux/Sioux Yeah Yeah as long as I live.

I don't want to be rude but maybe the cheerleaders we have now can't skate? Hate to say it but historically our hockey cheerleaders have been the worst in the WCHA. Of course, this is only my opinion.

Guess I missed where I "... continually use the word "ALL" .." to make my point when I reviewed my posts. Which post #'s were they?

I am totally not interested in that type of repeat offense in the penalty box!!

Yeah, but like most girls, my favorite is Holding!

Yeah, but like most girls, my favorite is Holding!

Mike will certainly be in our thoughts and prayers!!

I'm just grateful there was no checking from behind!!

Click on 'CustomPaint'. then on second row, first circle. That's the JPar helmet I have. http://drummerstudios.com/v1.1/custom.html

Found the time and went through all my posts and NO WHERE do I use the word "ALL" to make my point. I don't call anyone a racist. I posted, "This thread is sounding very racist to this member." Who's posting with a broad brush?

All of it?

We couldn't agree on the royalties per centage so I won't let them film.

1. Yes 2. I used "ALL" ? Too busy to go back and check but if I did, I apologise.

Link?

You keep overlooking or chose to ignore MY point. Don't eliminate NA programs at UND because we can't use a name and logo.

Not my broad brush definition. http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/racist rac

When an entire race of people is judged by actions/intelligence/color/living situation/parentage, etc. of a few or even more, that's racism. Because a professor told some one that the School of Engineering couldn't find a NA to meet the math criteria to be accepted, does not mean there are not gifted in math NAs. When I read something like that I read it as saying there are not NAs who can meet the math criteria. They just didn't happen to want to apply to UND and chose to go elsewhere. Because tribal leaders do not support the Fighting Sioux name and logo, does not mean the majority of NA's do not support the name and logo. Don't tie the name and logo up with NA programs at UND. If you don't believe there should be NA programs because it's not equal for all or because you believe that money should be earmarked for someother issue, or what ever other reason, fine. But I don't believe the programs shouldn't exist because we can't use the Fighting Sioux name and logo.

Because I don't know how effective NA programs are does not mean there isn't an ongoing evaluation of said programs. I don't know for certain but I don't think I would be wrong to say that the NA programs at UND are funded 100% by federal money. Explain to me how the name and logo would affect any 'politics' that may be associated with the federal money funding the UND NA programs. Our esteemed Senators and Representative distanced themselves from the name and logo issue. The NA med students have to meet the same qualification for entry to the UND med school as other students. There is no 'special' board examinations for NA physicians. All MDs take the same tests initially and every few years (depending on their specialties) to maintain their licenses and certifications. I've worked with plenty of poorly qualified non-Native physicians so let's not take that road, ok? No one in this thread said only NAs can't make it in college. I said NAs are not the only ones who can't. I should have said that some NAs are not the only ones who can't make it in college.

Yep

My ex is head of a grants and contracts department at a major University. His department 'polices' every single penny that comes into the University. To think that there hasn't been ongoing evaluation of the federal monies is naive. I don't know how effective the NA programs are at UND. I do know that 20% of NA MDs in this country are UND graduates. I do know that a large number of NA RNs in ND, SD, Montana and Minnesota are graduates of UND. Not working in the field of engineering, education etc. I don't know how many NA graduates there are from those programs. I do know that it's not just NAs that can't make it in college.

"Let's quit deluding ourselves that these people will be reasonable at any time. F**k 'em " "rational thinking is not really part of the native mindset" "..to check out the slots at the casino" "diversity is only important to them when it is to their disadvantage." "they could NOT find 2 QUALIFIED Indians student to give the scholarships to as their math skills were not even close to the other students applying for a slot in the engineering program." "the tribes will be bitching that know one knows their history anymore." "Who? " "People in this state know what their "history" has been over the past few decades"
