This whole UND nickname thing is strange. A few years ago I was all for keeping it because I have yet to see anything other than a couple of anecdotes for removing it. Sure have heard a lot of claims on both sides showing support for keeping and removing the "Fighting Sioux" nickname.
Haven't seen any attempts at voting about the nickname on any reservation either. Are the tribal governments afraid of something?
The remove the nickname folks are really good with the "anti" stuff so my suggestion is come up with something positive, come up with a nickname that will make Indians, North Dakota, and UND proud. Show something positive instead of negative.
I don't mean something stupid like "Fighting Whitey" either, just a positive step to eliminating the issue completely.
Sure haven't heard if UND has asked the tribes for their input into a new nickname either.
Bet they can't do it. It's too easy to be negative about things and so much for being part of the solution instead of the problem.
