Charles Scudder, Denver, Colo., letter: Selection of quotes shows paper’s bias 
Can someone please tell me why, in a story about a pro-name petition, it was in any way relevant to quote only anti-name activists?

Jerry Shea, Eden Prairie, Minn., letter: Council should give a reason, not an excuse
It is interesting that tribal council member Doug Crow Ghost tells UND to “get over it” when, in fact, it’s the Standing Rock people who are not getting over it and who represent the only reason this matter is still unsettled.

State Rep. Lonny Winrich, D-Grand Forks, letter: State board handled tough situation well
I, for one, want to express my thanks to the members of the State Board of Higher Education for their service in this tough situation.

Jaquelle Sevigny, Kabul, Afghanisitan: From Afghanistan, a plea: Save the name
In an effort to improve morale, soldiers were asked to bring their school flags, and “ours” was the first to be hung.
In that moment, I felt at ease with that flag representing “home and history” even half a world away.

Bill LeCaine, Centennial, Colo., column: Everything I’ve done, I owe to hockey and UND
I’m a Lakota Sioux. ... I attended UND on a hockey scholarship and later played 14 years as a pro, including playing for the Pittsburgh Penguins in the National Hockey League.
I’m proud to have worn the “Fighting Sioux” logo and of what it stands for.

Tarek Howard, Grand Forks, column: Don’t take shears to UND’s proud jersey
The Badger doctor, using heavy shears, started cutting in the bottom corner, heading in a diagonal direction up the front. When he got to the embroidered logo, he looked me in the eye and carefully cut around the logo’s edge. I remember telling him, 'Thanks.'
How ironic that it would be our 'own' who would find those heavy old shears and finish the job of destroying that jersey.

Erwin Martens, Sudbury, Mass., column: Why I resigned from the UND Foundation board
My dissatisfaction is not with the Alumni Foundation. On the contrary, a more loyal and accomplished group of UND supporters would be hard to find.
My disgust is reserved for the total disregard shown by the North Dakota Board of Higher Education toward UND and its alumni, students and management.

David Murphy, Grand Forks, letter: Why downplay Sioux nation’s inspiring past?
I believe all the facets of the Sioux culture should be studied and appreciated; that is the kind of education I received at UND.

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.
Unfortunately, supporters of the Sioux logo were disrespectful enough to hold their event a few blocks away in University Park.

Jerry Shea, Eden Prairie, Minn., letter: Professor willfully ignores tribe’s nickname support
Case in point: Sudie Hofmann’s claim that “nickname supporters essentially have learned nothing about the Dakota/Lakota/Nakota people after all these decades of using their image and name for athletics at UND." ...
Please explain, Dr. Hofmann, from your position of educational responsibility and authority, why you are casting stones against the Spirit Lake Tribe, which has offered generous reasons for its support of the Fighting Sioux name and whose tribal members wear the logo proudly?

Michael Eshkibok, Grand Forks, letter: Helping Indians starts by retiring nickname
The use of American Indians as nicknames has fostered inaccurate stereotypes of an already discriminated-against racial minority group. No other ethnic group tolerates racial stereotyping of themselves; why should we?

COLUMNIST LLOYD OMDAHL: Loss of Fighting Sioux nickname inevitable
At one time, I felt that the logo was oppressive and should be dropped as a moral matter. But the vote on the Spirit Lake reservation repudiated that view.
Even so, considering the adversaries involved and the enduring nature of the controversy, loss of the logo became inevitable.

Monique Vondall-Rieke, Fargo, column: By retiring nickname, state board chooses well
Oral tradition and oral history have spoken on the matter of the UND logo and nickname. The Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Council voted, and the measure lost. Why? Because the overall issue was not central to the duties of the governing body at Standing Rock.

Rich Becker, Grand Forks, column: Path forward still begins with Standing Rock
We all live together and can benefit from the mutual respect shown to the history and achievements of the Sioux people.
