yekcoh Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 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.

Slamdance Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Don't hot dogs give you gas? Just a natural progression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwing77 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottM Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottM Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
