FightingSU Posted August 31, 2022 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoiseInsideMyHead Posted August 31, 2022 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

The Sicatoka Posted August 31, 2022 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted September 1, 2022 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like that's what President Armacost is doing and will do - he'll do the right thing although it's a couple decades late and not his fault. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

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.
