It is you who is guilty of selective reading. What does this line from the AP story you referenced say?

Hey GK! I'm just trying to help you out man! It's kind of embarrassing
for a college student to use poor grammar he should have learned in junior high. Okay - lets turn it back to the original topic - what was that again?Please note on line two lets should be changed to let's.
What are ya stupid or something?

Well, I'm shocked, SHOCKED that this resolution has passed.... What were you expecting from the "I need another handout" class among us. I've come to expect this stuff from the "I don't take any responsibility for my actions so I need to find something or somebody to blame" people....
Did you forget to take your medication today? Usually I

Just kidding about selective reasoning-no such thing-a play off of selective hearing-like when your kids only listen to what they want too. I know you

Fascinating the way you rocket off on a tangent-alternate to reality. I just stated the tee shirt was on the front page of a newspaper-and watch Johnny rocket go. My point is that it was newsworthy, to my people. It was front page on the December 12th issue of News from Indian Country. WWW.IndianCountryNews.com. It pictured a caption of the tee shirt and a few lines underneath that stating E-BAY removed the shirt because of complaints and that it was not university sanctioned. Guessing what races bid on the shirts or why it was removed wouldn

All this did was take me to the homepage, no documented example of racism there. I did find some interesting reading including a report I was thinking about looking up. I really injoyed the author's interjections into the official report of "What the report didn't state was...", those were cute. Funny how the NC$$ could not find a hostile or abusive environment in 2002 but they could in a blanket decree 2 1/2 years later.

I'm still waiting on that list of "the last vestiges or racism toward my people" and the documented instances of racism toward Native American people at UND.
Have they opened any "Indian Only" coffee shops, has Barnes and Noble said only non-native Americans can buy their textbooks for spring semester there? Any special "Native American Only" parking spaces? Do the Native American students that ride the campus shuttle have to sit in the back? Has the city council re-zoned a portion of the city not to allow Native American students to rent or have more then 3 non-related persons live with them? I mean, how hard can this list be, these things are so obvious, so well publicized, so blatant in their intent that they should be on the front page of the Heraldo or the Dakota Student daily and weekly. You must be able to drive down University at any time and see Native American students being pushed into snow banks and having their textbooks knocked from their hands. I mean, as heinous as it was, look how much coverage and how fast the recent Synagogue vandalism got and how fast it was declared a hate crime and yet all of the injustices claimed my the name changers get absolutely no press. Is the liberal press here missing out on an opportunity to bash the state of federal government here? Call Fox New, those hick North Dakotans have figured out a way to practice racism and cover it up!
Easy on the java- I

The author of this article and the young Indian hockey players featured in another thread have made points ignored by Mako, KTF and GK. They have moved on. They acknowledge the past but by living their lifes as they have show that there is more to life than wallowing in the past, living on the reservation and refusing to move forward.
Let go, let live, move on, and most importantly, move up. An athletic team's logo and nickname don't prevent any American Indian from "being all you can be". Self pity and apathy most certainly do.
Every tribe in North Dakota has made a point by adopting a resolution calling for a name change at UND. Our resolution is being ignored. Too bad you associate
-
What I don't get about this is the fact that other "tribes" are allowing the use of their names (Utes and Seminoles to name two). Why do they not have the same perspective as Mako? I am of Scandinavian descent. Should I be upset when "Vikings" is used in a derogatory way? Yes, this isn't a race thing, it's a respect thing. No one should be using derogatory terms at an ahtletic event. It is not an issue of team name it's an issue of respect for your opponent.
The Seminole and Ute Nations have given permission for their universities to use their likeness for mascots, as well as the Chippewa for CMU. I don

Spin it however you want, but the last official act by the Spirit Lake tribal council was in support of UND's use of the Fighting Sioux nickname and logo.
What spin?
The Spirit Lake Nation voted against UND

Quite obvious what the point was. Also obvious you don't or can't appreciate an alternate opinion. Hope that works for you. By the way, please enlighten the board on your undergraduate and graduate degrees/fields and the war(s) that you have fought in that qualify you to speak on the matter.
-
Correction. As of right now, one of three Sioux tribes in North Dakota is officially on record as supporting UND's use of the Fighting Sioux nickname.
can you please state which tribe?when?where?which leaders?
-
Unless the tribal leaders have some sort of copyright on the name, UND does not need their "permission".
I and the NCAA disagree. I guess that

Did you even bother to read the entry to which you posted the link? It doesn't say what you seem to think it does.
Can't you read?
Today, somewhat controversially, the word is also used as a generic adjective, referring to the Viking Age Scandinavians.
The point is you may be wrong, but you can't admit it.

There seem to differing schools of thought about Vikings.
A Viking is a pirate and not a name for the people or culture in general.

Maybe GrahamKracker was right?

The UND mascot promotes an environment that is hostile and abusive. Imagine you are a Native American who brings a son or daughter to

Great site if your into Native American hate mongering, and empirical generalizations about Native Americans. Walk in beauty.
