With the population of Minnesota being heavily based in the Metro and most of the elected officials in those districts not having to worry about being voted out of office the lunatic left is running the show in Minnesota. It is not a good thing when your legislature is trending on Twitter every other day during your legislative sessions....North Dakota has the same problem on the other end of the scale although the Republican party in ND has a little more of a breakup within the party between the right wing kooks, the moderate republicans and the socilaist wing of the Republican party which has dwindled bit since the oil boom. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iramurphy Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 The name Warriors isn’t specific to Native Americans. They may try to eliminate the imagery. I don’t recall seeing a mascot. As long as Henry Boucha is able relate the history of the school and the name it’s not likely to change. I would be curious to know if any impetus for change originates from the respective communities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSSioux Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 I thought I would put this article in the Herald on this site about Warroad's fight to keep the Warrior's name. Warroad Public Schools to request exemption from law banning use of Native American nicknames - Grand Forks Herald | Grand Forks, East Grand Forks news, weather & sports Looking at the requirements, I do not think there is any way that they will be able to maintain the nickname is the cancel culture times we live in now. The Minnesota legislature made that pretty clear in the writing of the bill. What do you think the odds are in their fight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiSioux Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Not a nickname but feast your eyes on the final six candidates for the new Minnesota state flag.... https://m.startribune.com/minnesota-emblems-redesign-commission-aims-to-pick-five-finalists-tuesday-for-new-flag-seal/600321457/ The finalists favored by commission members signal a dramatic shift in imagery from Minnesota's long-standing state flag and seal, which have been criticized for decades as offensive to the state's tribal communities. The seal, which is at the center of the state flag, shows a white settler plowing a field in the foreground while a Native American man rides on horseback into the sunset. Others have criticized the flag as poorly designed and too similar to other state flags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
