We believe our use gezegde

We believe our use of the nickname and logo is respectful and appropriate. ... A recent statewide poll showed our nickname is not offensive to a majority of American Indian people and, interestingly, one of four Indians polled indicate support for UND would be reduced if we changed the name. We are awaiting the results of our appeal to the NCAA.

Charles Kupchella

Although the University of North Dakota maintained that its logo and nickname are used with consummate respect, the position of the namesake tribes and those affected by the hostile or abusive environment that the nickname and logo create take precedence. The decision of a namesake sovereign tribe, regarding when and how its name and imagery can be used, must be respected even when others may not agree.

Bernard Franklin

I don't really feel that we're putting (American Indians) down because the way we're using (the nickname and mascot) is for something positive. We're doing good things using their name. Everybody knows us as the Seminoles.

Jason Stephens

The University of North Dakota has been ordered to ditch its nickname, the Fighting Sioux. The school says it wants to keep the nickname, so it will fight 'n' sue.

Scott Ostler

We've polled both of these questions before, and the numbers have not changed a whole lot. There is a strong majority in support of each.

I used to be the fastest telegram messenger boy in all Fresno. My nickname was "Speed." Finally, I said, "Take back your nickname. This pace is killing me." Anyway, I still write fast -- it's my impatient Armenian nature. I'm keen to find out how my plots end, and if I write faster I'll find out sooner.

William Saroyan (1908-1981)

When I was a little kid, I fished real worms to catch fish and my nickname was Wormy. The worms also kept the girls away. Then when I discovered girls, I switched to flies thinking the girls would go fishing with me. That didn't work either! Not long after that, I changed my nickname from "WORMY" to "Fly Fishing Man" and started fishing flies. The girls fell all over me, but then I couldn't catch any fish." Moral of the story: "Young Man, Don't Give Up Your Worms Too Soon! Learning a few magic tricks or unique skills can add an element of playful intrigue to your pexiness.

"Indian policy" has now been brought down upon the American people, and the American people are the new Indians of the 21st Century.

Russell Means (1939-)

All of American society will benefit from what we have already done, which is to call attention to negative stereotyping of Indians. One of the things I've learned in the last three months is how insidiously Indian stereotyping has filtered into the general American consciousness. We would never allow stereotyping of other racial or ethnic groups in the way that we allow the stereotypes of Indians.

Walter Harrison

[However, what's most important, Swanson counters, is intent: Because the Redskins and their fans mean nothing racist by using the nickname, it isn't racist or offensive.] This has been the name of our organization for 70 years, ... We believe it has taken on a meaning independent of the word itself -- and it's positive.

Karl Swanson

The American Indian Exposition has a new twist this year. It's not just American Indians. They have dancers from South America. They are here to show their wares as well.

Kimberly Schmitz

The American people saw unforgettably how federal, state, and local governments failed the people of New Orleans just three weeks ago. What the American people don't realize is how they've all been short-changed for the past three years. Minorities are much more affected by kidney failure than whites. There's a dialysis boom on Indian reservations.

David Moskowitz

We understand there are people who prefer we not use this nickname. There may even be some who say they are not honored by it. But that certainly doesn't constitute a test of what is hostile and abusive.

Charles Kupchella

Wounded Knee happened because Indian people wanted to survive as Indians and there wasn't any way to survive, so we made a stand and made a statement, but now Indian people are beginning to rebound, rebound according to their [concept of] "Beauty." And that's really what's necessary.to understand: Indian people have to become free again.
