Thank you Archie, Eunice and everyone

[star2city]

Just wanted to express my sincere thanks to all the men and women of the Spirit Lake and Standing Rock tribes that worked so hard to keep the Sioux name. While your efforts may not have resulted in the ends that we had hoped, your passion, efforts and determination epitomized the Fighting Sioux spirit and will ultimately help heal some of the divides between Indians and non-Indians.

I firmly believe that when the self-righteous 60's generation that is now in leadership dies off, the Sioux name will return by overwhelming acclamation by both tribes. You set the stage for that rebirth.

Well said, thanks to all for fighting the good fight.

That is a very good point. Thank you for all your hard work....it is really too bad that nothing will come of it.

I can't thank the grass-roots leaders of both reservations enough who gave their time and efforts to this cause. They showed time and time again that the use of the "Fighting Sioux" name was a strong link between people and cultures and was the epitome of everything that's good about North Dakota.

Well said, star2city.

Agreed.

How about a road trip to meet Archie and celebrate the Sioux this fall? Perhaps a Saturday when the Fighting Sioux are out of town and we can all listen to the game. I'll bring brownies

Very well said star2city.I could not agree more and by the year 2020 the Sioux will back to being the Fighting Sioux.

Actually, I think once the name is gone it will very hard to get it back.
