Richard Shafer, Grand Forks, letter: This ‘N.Y. attorney’ has deep N.D. roots
The fact that attorney Carla Fredericks is a member of the Three Affiliated Tribes of North Dakota seems to escape Al Carlson. A native woman with roots in North Dakota, one who was able to obtain a Columbia University law degree, deserves our respect and not Carlson’s disdain.

If new U.S. Rep. Rick Berg, R-N.D., joins the repeal effort, he should be invited to speak at every spaghetti-dinner fund raiser held for our fellow citizens who are too poor to afford health care or have exceeded their limits of coverage.

Richard Shafer, Grand Forks, letter: Pro-nickname event disrespected powwow
The opening of the UND Indian Association Time-Out and Wacipi powwow Friday night at UND was a colorful opportunity for us to celebrate American Indian culture and meet American Indians from diverse regional tribes.

A giant Sioux image on the back of a big white guy wolfing down a cheeseburger in a fast food restaurant, for instance, for me is something like second hand smoke: I don’t really want to absorb it, but I don’t have a choice. It shouts at you.
