68% of the members of the Spirit Lake Sioux Tribe that voted approve of the Fighting Sioux nickname.  Finally, some common sense: Ask the “victims”!  So far, many people seem to be quick to speak “for” the tribal members.  Maybe more should let them speak for themselves.

I honestly think that the Fighting Sioux Nickname is intended as an honor and that some fat, white, east coast lawyer decided that the proud Sioux tribes should feel offended. 

However, if the tribes themselves (not the leaders, the actual members) decide that it is offensive, I say we get rid of the name.
