I think you are right that Indians should be proud of their mascot and take it as a compliment. You are setting a good example for your people. I wish more of your people would watch how you are reacting to this and take note, they could learn a lot. I think it is a good thing that you are being rational about the issue, though I can’t really see why it’s such a big deal. I’m really sorry my brother killed you. You were a very reasonable and hardworking girl. <BR/><BR/>-WesAlyssaVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02603873119715104151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2375869917468938300.post-75050128850174130642008-03-24T21:37:00.000-07:002008-03-24T21:37:00.000-07:00My Marie Little Soldier, I can respect your viewpo...My Marie Little Soldier, I can respect your viewpoint on this issue, and I can gladly say that I am proud of you to see the beauty of a tribal mascot. You should take pride in it as I do, and I'm glad to see that you are proud.

I'm just very upset that all of these years of hard work and training in basketball, baseball and football got be no where. If I were accepted, I would be proud to wear the Sioux on my chest but unfortunately, admissions seems to be racist and prejudice. Though you and I disagree, I still love ya.

The use of the mascot makes the Sioux tribe a lower part of society. I cant see how anyone could find it respectful when someone could say, "hey, lets go watch the fighting Sioux play." The Sioux is a community of humans, not a team name. <BR/><BR/>-Douglas HeartmanMike B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14207141629233273332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2375869917468938300.post-70346542933097707692008-03-24T15:55:00.000-07:002008-03-24T15:55:00.000-07:00How can you sit by and watch while our fellow Nati...How can you sit by and watch while our fellow Native Americans have their pride hurt by such a wrongful portrayal of the Sioux? I don't understand how the public can try to look in from the outside and say oh its a fine mascot and not have even talked to some of the students who have Native American background? Me along with my fellow students have hurt pride because of our fellow white students taunting us and teasing us and hollering at us with war chants! <BR/><BR/>-Winona Native American UND studentzoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01046892132620712026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2375869917468938300.post-41644198526070286292008-03-24T06:53:00.001-07:002008-03-24T06:53:00.001-07:00Marie, I love to see that you are proud of the mas...Marie, <BR/>I love to see that you are proud of the mascot name. The UND students wear their name proudly and love to honor the Indian history. I understand those viewpoints of the people who do not like the name, but I don't think that it should change. The name is history. It is powerful and represents the spirit of the school very well.

Unfortunately, some of the students are being disrespectful and Native American students at the school feel like the mascot has a encouraged students to be rude.

We must get rid of the name. It is a sign of disrespect to your tribe. We must remove this name. You have had to withstand a lot of pain and sorrow and the mascot should not have to remind you every time you see it. We must get rid of it right now.<BR/>-Mike sandersABarmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746488334492912522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2375869917468938300.post-39917640104325212732008-03-24T06:28:00.000-07:002008-03-24T06:28:00.000-07:00Marie Little Soldier,Thank you for you comments.
