The Sicatoka Posted August 31, 2022 Posted August 31, 2022 Wait for it ... coming soon to a campus near you. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted August 31, 2022 Author Posted August 31, 2022 If you have even the remotest fantasy of the old nickname coming back ... erase it. It's gone. Quote

FightingSU Posted August 31, 2022 Posted August 31, 2022 I don't understand... in a closet??? I would have expected this to be found, like buried. This story is murky at best. Not sure what to think. Nickname still coming back some day 1 Quote

NoiseInsideMyHead Posted August 31, 2022 Posted August 31, 2022 This is a huge nothingburger. Heck, at Hogwarts, they let the dearly departed mingle with the students in the dining hall. 2 Quote
Green Banner Posted August 31, 2022 Posted August 31, 2022 This is not news, more than likely they were in a box or boxes and got misplaced and put in a closet Quote

How would you like it if the remains of one of your extended family members were "misplaced and put in a closet"? Sounds like "news" now, doesn't it? This could be a potential crime scene for Cripes Sake! Quote

Some material may have been brought onto campus in the late 1800s as results of archeological excavations. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted August 31, 2022 Author Posted August 31, 2022 Seems UND is not alone in having to find, catalog, and repatriate items. The "find" is the embarrassing part. Own it. Fix it. And not again. 2 Quote
BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted September 1, 2022 Posted September 1, 2022 I remember in the 60's a farmer (neighbor) in western Walsh County found skelton/bones on a hill when getting some sand out. Long story short, UND came over and removed the findings. Quote

Repatriation is the right thing to do and worrying about how this might affect the old nickname coming back is a trivial and frankly pathetic waste of time. 1 1 Quote

Yeah the liberal academics are to fault for this black eye on the university. We have to hear them cry to retire the name, but they can’t even do the right thing with actual indigenous remains! Quote

Nope - pretty sure it was a bunch of old-timey professors who thought old indian bones and artifacts were interesting things to display and point to as "curiousities" When they finally did some remodeling and took them down they stuffed them in a box and put them away only to be discovered all these years later... disrespectful? YES Ignorant? YES A "liberal" conspiracy? NO but YES the name has been retired for many good reasons. Get over it. The "liberal academics" and administration are now trying to make this situation right - they will do it but it will take time. Stop acting like you would have done something different or better. People like you only bitch 1 Quote
