As far as I know, the original plan back in the early part of last century, was to make the Indians American citizens, and then get rid of the reservations. One article I read on the subject claimed that this was Congress's plan, however after the Indians were given American citizenship, the reservations were not eliminated for various reasons. (one being an idea that the reservations were a good experiment in North American communism). Now, due to the casino profits, the reservations will never be eliminated.

Happy don't you have better things to do than police UND web boards?

The King Kold incident was disgusting, to say the least

Yes, it was, assuming it happened as I've heard it told. But you'd have to look far and wide to find a Fighting Sioux fan who disagrees with you.

So what's your point? More importantly, what's James McKenzie's point in dredging up something that occurred 35 years ago?

1972. :lol:

I bet your still bitchin' that your mom pushed you out of the nice, warm, nutritonally stocked, safe womb!

Sorry, but I'm old enough to remember the incident.

My point is that we keep talking about the history and the tradition of the Sioux name at UND, so let's examine some of our history. Granted, times have changed. I couldn't see a situation like this happening today; it would never be allowed to progress to the ugly climax it did.

Let's get it changed and move on.

How about the history of soldiers and settlers in Minnesota forcing the Sioux out of their homeland at gunpoint? Nick Coleman and James MacKenzie are obviously consumed with guilt about that, but I don't see them leading the charge to give the land they now live on back to the Sioux tribes it was stolen from. Perhaps I could take them more seriously if they proposed doing something meaningful rather than being obsessed with an empty symbolic gesture that will accomplish nothing and comes at someone else's expense.

Does it seem odd to anyone else that Doreen Yellow Bird ignored this viewpoint of Mr. Fool Bear? Why wouldn't she address it with one of her countless, pathetic, pieces of drivel?

I believe she was spending her time picketing against Thanksgiving Day. :lol:

Why do you seem so eager to read such "countless, pathetic, pieces of drivel"? Fair question, I think.

"Eager"? That's your word. I read the newspaper cover to cover. The good, the bad, and the ugly.

Actually, she wrote a pretty good column in praise of Thanksgiving.

Sioux-cia:

Your post drips of eagerness. Like you can't wait to be outraged. It's a little ploy editorialists and talk radio hosts call "stimulating the audience" to get more responses. But, I see she hasn't done it yet to your liking. Maybe she doesn't think Archie's view points merit comment, similar to what a lot of of us on here think of her views.

PCM: Agreed. I checked it out. In fairness, it was a nice column.

Yup.

Well go figure! Here I thought I was doing something entirely different. Thank you for knowing what I can't wait to do and explaining my ploys to me. I am awed by your all knowing, somewhat psychic abilities.

Now, please, excuse me while I go wipe the awe off my shoes. :D

I didn't think it was a foam at the mouth anti thanksgiving article. It was an ok article. Now Coleman's article that was written and linked earlier that was a piece of junk. Typical while Liberal. Don't even say it David K. I had many white Liberal College professors that puked out the same crap Coleman said in his article copyright Gillette Hall.

Settle down. First off, this is an opinion board. And you got mine. And I got yours. I respect yours. You disagree with mine (which is deep down in your heart, in areas that you don't talk about with other Sioux fan club members, you actually love to read Yellowbird's stuff, 'cause it gets your blood boiling -- I'm the same way). And that is fine. Don't ruin your Thanksgiving weekend over it. But, a clarification is in order, I wasn't pointing out your "ploys," I was simply conveying a media industry ploy of using controversials viewpoints to generate more responses from the masses. Is that clearer now. Take a blood pressure pill, grab a blanket, put on some soothing music, and maybe next time you can read more clearly past your ire. :D

That's why I listen to left wing talk shows sometime, a good way to get your heart rate up.

:D
