Joe Abbot, Lame Deer, Mont., Letter to the editor: NDSU should also change its mascot

All the stories, all the talk and all the controversy over UND’s “Fighting Sioux” moniker.

As an Indian (or “Native American,” which is the popular title in today’s soft world) I find much more offense in NDSU’s “Bison” mascot. The buffalo was sacred to my people; it was our food, our shelter, our religion and it was life itself.

How dare a white man’s university take our deity and make it a sports team mascot?

NDSU should change its mascot name out of respect to an animal the Great Spirit gave to my people.

He is not a sports mascot, he is not a marketing gimmick to make wealthy people richer. The buffalo is above today’s corrupt commercial world.

He is not an asset to be exploited; he is an icon to be cherished and respected.

Discuss...

also isnt there a law about being able to kill indians if they are in a covered wagon or something like that???i believe i have heard something like that before!!!!

I made the trip to tacoma a few times just for bison burritos. You wanna know why bison were sacred? They made good damn eating.. and good clothes and tools and decorations too. Using the bison as a school mascot isn't an insult - UNLESS you're saying the school sucks. That's about it right there. People take pride in being the Bison, being the Fighting Sioux, and you want to call it disrespectful? Way to go.

Bison Burgers are good.

Yes, yes they are. And you don't even have to eat there sacred animal just as burger. There's jerky, pepper sticks, roasts, summer sausage and steak to just name a few. Plus if they want to they can use there free government hand out, that our tax dollars are going for, to buy some themselves.....at retail price, of course.

I honestly don't see what there problem is, we let them have casinos which the "White Man" dumps millions of dollars into a year and they have the balls to bitch about something as trivial as a damn mascot. If they really want something to bitch about, I say tell them this, "You've got a casino so that forfeits any goverment assistance from this day forth, if you want one you have give up the other, plain and simple.

The reservations should be closed and everyone on them put to some good use in society instead of freeloading.

Well they were a lot more fortunate then most countries... usually it'd be u get taken over, and either do what they want or your done... That's the way things have been forever, and that's how it most likely always will be...
