r2opus2 Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 If you haven't had a chance to check out the latest Sioux support t-shirt, check out the latest design from Orriginals in Jamestown, ND www.orriginals.com Quote

Sioux-cia Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 I have been on record that the name and logo issue should not be tied into the NA programs at UND. I feel the same about the Casinos. When I first saw those t-shirts my first thought was, 'Do people who go to casinos really give a rat's a$$ about the name and logo?" I truly believe that we are never going to get tribal approval for the continued use. I also don't like the idea that even if we do get approval, it can be hanked at any time. Even though I believe that, there's a tiny little bit in me that still hopes we get to keep the name and logo. IMHO that t-shirt is only going to hurt Sioux tribe and UND discussions. Quote
sioux7>5 Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 I have a question about the casino's in ND, do they have to pay taxes on the money there? I know in MN they do not. Forsure they need to force the casinos to start paying taxes and that is the first thing they need to do. The next if they are so offended by the word Sioux they need to stop using it in the advertising. I just think it is very hypocritical of them to so No to UND but Yes to using it to there advantage. What a joke. Quote

What a joke. The tribes are considered sovereign nations under the U.S. Government. Tribal lands that are part of the reservation are not under state jurisdiction, only federal jurisdiction. State regulations cannot touch them. Quote
Siouxman Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 For all of you who thought this t-shirt was a great idea... TwinCites.com article about New Sioux T-Shirt This t-shirt idea is not smart. It simply proves the PC crowd correct about hostile and abusive. Not UND, but people in general. Quote
mksioux Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 For all of you who thought this t-shirt was a great idea... TwinCites.com article about New Sioux T-Shirt What this shows is that it comes to this controversy, some random guy in Jamestown, ND who has sold 15 t-shirts of questionable taste is "newsworthy" to the Twin Cities media. But that's the kind of thing we're up against. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 Don't agree with the marketing of the T-shirt, but Mr. Orr makes some valid points. Are casinos detrimental to today's society? I think that a valid argument can be made that they are. Or at least as valid as the anti-Sioux nickname folks argument is for getting rid of the nickname/logo. It is always interesting to see/hear a group protest "something", but then in turn use that "something" in their own terms to benefit them. Quote

Soveirgn nations, are they given the right to vote for president? Yes they are. If they are a sovreign nation then they should not be alloed to vote for positions outside the reservation. Quote
ScottM Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 Nothing like a little controversy to increase sales. Mr. Orr should thank Pravda and the Hurled for the free advertising. Quote

Sort of like this statue on the front lawn of Ron His Horse Is Thunder's casino? Quote

PCM Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 That is one cool statue!! Even though it promotes stereotypes? Quote
dagies Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 Even though it promotes stereotypes? Only whitey promotes stereotypes. Everyone else can do or say as they please. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 Even though it promotes stereotypes? Cake...and eating it too! Quote
Sioux-cia Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 Only whitey promotes stereotypes. Everyone else can do or say as they please. It's a great statue. I look at art (and that statue is art), form my opinion and don't worry (or really care) about what anyone else thinks about it. Quote
KEH Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 Even though it promotes stereotypes? Is that a Nokota horse? Quote
