Sioux-per?

If you ever drive from Fort Totten to Sheyenne, take notice of the new business that is along highway 281.

About the same time that UND retired the Sioux-per Hot Dog stand, a propane business went up called Sioux-per Propane. I guess gas is better than hot dogs.

Don't hot dogs give you gas?

Just a natural progression.

I think the real issue isn't with sports at all.

Has anyone here been to Sioux City, Iowa? I mean, that place is DIRTY. That, in itself, is hostile and abusive. Why aren't they protesting that name?

The hotdogs are first then you get the gas.

Ya know, as a practical matter, I think that if UND and/or REA still use "stylized" Sioux-related names for merchandising it undercuts the argument that they're using the name with respect.

I agree with you. Although, 'stylized' merchandising is noted at most if not all tourist traps on reservations.

But I doubt roadside stores are fighting to retain their name/logo, and making public statements about "respect" and "honor" with regard to American Indians. Moreover, if that's the best UND/REA marketing folks can do to promote products, they should be fired.
