I always suspected that Native Americans were, at best, neutral on the whole Indian-names-for-sports-teams debate. After all, we never saw them at the forefront of any protest feigning insult and demanding that the Atlanta Braves and Cleveland Indians get new names and mascots. That was always the perennially-offended Leftist PC crowd.
Well now it turns out that at least one tribe is downright upset that the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) has arbitrarily decided the University of North Dakota “Fighting Sioux” must ditch their nickname: Tribe sues NCAA to let school use name…

Tribal attorney Reed Soderstrom said the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court challenges the NCAA’s policy banning the use of Native American names and imagery by collegiate athletic teams.
 
He said the suit against the National Collegiate Athletic Association was brought on behalf of more than 1,004 members of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe “in direct response to their attempt to take away and prevent the North Dakota Sioux Indians from giving their name forever to the University of North Dakota” despite a tribal vote in 2009 and a “sacred and religious spiritual ceremony” by tribal leaders in 1969 that granted “perpetual use” of the name to the school…
 
…“the NCAA has unilaterally decided that the name ‘Fighting Sioux’ is derogatory to the very people who feel honored by the name — the North Dakota Sioux tribes.”

 
You really can’t make this stuff up. But it’s just another classic example of Progressive’s illogic.
Sure glad the Sioux are fighting back against this foolishness.
