UND92,96 Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 According to this article, yes. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This part of the article was interesting to me: Group leaders said they wanted to raise awareness about their nearly 35-year-old quest to ban the use of American Indian symbols as mascots in educational institutions. I can only assume that Four Winds (Indians), Belcourt (Braves), Fort Yates (Warriors), Solen (Sioux), etc. qualify as educational institutions. I've been waiting for years for a compelling argument as to how a name can be considered honorable on a reservation, but "racist" and "demeaning" everyplace else. Quote
Fedorov Posted March 31, 2005 Author Posted March 31, 2005 When I worked at Four Winds, I saw several students wearing Fighting Sioux clothing. I do not think that any unbiased study will find that the Fighting Sioux name causes problems. Quote
