Here's another interesting historical tidbit to keep in mind.
Ridding Minnesota of the Sioux is apparently a long, proud tradition in Gopher land.
But never fear. Some have discovered a way that Minnesotans can right the injustices of the past.
Sure, this means that the University of Minnesota will have to relocate, but I think UND, the state of North Dakota and our congressional delegation should fully support Smith's efforts to return the Twin Cities to their rightful owners. What better way to end the racial hostility and abuse that exist there?
My comments here are, of course, strictly tongue-in-cheek because I know many Gopher fans support UND's efforts to retain the Fighting Sioux nickname and logo. I simply wanted to illustrate how easy it is reverse the ox goring and give away something that belongs to someone else in the name of correcting historical injustice.
