Categories:

Under an agreement with the NCAA late last year that settled a lawsuit filed by UND, the university will retire the nickname and logo in three years if it cannot get the support of the Sioux tribes in North Dakota.

American Indian Student Services Director Leigh Jeanotte said he was especially disturbed by the photos because the party apparently took place in November, the month the NCAA settlement was announced and a time when campus discussions about the nickname and other American Indian issues were at a high point. November also is American Indian Heritage Month.

“From my point of view, this is an educational opportunity, but they have to be aware that depicting American Indians in that way is not appropriate,” Jeanotte said.
