When Eastern Michigan changed the names of its teams from "Hurons," the tribe begged it not to do it. EMU did it, anyway.

It's fairly safe to assume that not all of the Sioux want the name changed.

As I have always said, it is the whiney, wimpy liberal whites who throw a temper tantrum like a 2 year old over these things. Usually, the tribe(s) in question support keeping it (as noted above).

I actually think most Indians want more references to them, and afterall, Indian sports names honor the proud,strong, fighthing spirit of the Indians.....
