That is nonsense. Like has been posted, it is in the public domain. How about the "Dakota" in the state's name? How about Washington State? If the decedents of George Washington don't like the state being named for him, should they be able to force a change? How about the city of New Germany Minnesota? Should Germans or people with German ancestry (my family) be able to force a change? How about the USC Trojans? Should they have to change their nickname becuase there are no Trojans left to ask how they feel about the name and hence forth we don't know if it is approved or not?
On a different note, I am happy to see the oil industry really taking off in North Dakota. I am looking to get into the oil field, and it would be nice to have an option close to home. I have a vision for the whole state, and oil, among other things, is part of it
If the Natives are all right with using the name "Sioux", then it should be alright for other people to use then name. Otherwise, it is a double standard.
Go Notre Dame! Carry the ND flag! Interestingly, both BC and ND are Catholic schools. Hopefully come football season, Notre Dame's football team can match their hockey team in performance.
Does anyone know where to find some Frozen Four wallpaper? Or, for those of you skilled with computers, do you care to design and make some? Thanks guys.
