    That or it could be that your version of humor is terrible.

      You don't seem to understand my post at all. I'm not talking about statutes, I'm referring to the tribal council as a governing institution that acts on behalf of the people. Some tribal councils have long sought to function according to democratic principles (separation of powers, legislative body, legal precedents, etc.). These are socio-political hybrid structures that have contextually developed in the past several decades as attempts to interact with governing powers of the State and Federal government. However, the historical and authentic tribal government structures as recognized sovereign and self governing entities are coming more into vogue today and are based upon specific ethnic, religious and linguistic distinctions. This departure from the Greco-Roman government structures is in a sense a statement of protest itself and a return to authentic Native American tribal leadership.

      That's why so many are puzzled when they read accounts indicating they don't have time to discuss the nickname issue or it's too expensive to bring the issue to a vote. Of course they have time and I'm sure if there was any willingness to change whatsoever the money would suddenly appear. But that is simply their way of publically "saving face" and retaining their "honor" and it essentially means they will NEVER, and I mean NEVER change their stance on the nickname. The UND constituency, and college sports (i.e. ice hockey) mean very little in terms of their intrinsic worldview. Make no mistake about it, they invoke their ancestor spirits and the answer has been deposited in their etheric soul which constitutes the core understanding of their ontology of self.

      That's what basically happened in April with the following tribes. LEADERS (not the entire tribes) of 11 out of the 16 northern Great Plains tribes or 69% also voted to reaffirm their support of the NCAA's policy calling for elimination of American Indian nicknames, logos and mascots at member colleges and universities. Nine of them are Sioux tribes in the Dakotas and Nebraska; and the other two are the Omaha and Winnebago tribes of Nebraska.

          Unofficial quick glance, you used 59 words that contained at least 8 words. that doesn't even include the terms "Greco-Roman" nor "etheric soul."

          I couldn't care less what opinion you have, be it pro or negative UND, but who the f are you trying to impress?

              Good to see so many Gopher fans in the UND thread! Decided to cheer for a winning team for a change?

              A couple great additions to UND in the last couple days with Luke and Luke! Nice work, Hakstol.

                They should change the name to the Fighting Forks. Then the students can chant loudly their name whenever they see some official from the NCAA. FORK!! FORK!! FORK!!!

                  I've always found it ironically entertaining when UND fans point out mistakes in other posts and yet at long last, they can't even seem to form complete sentences with subject pronouns and linking verbs. It must be a UND thing.

                  BTW, can someone cue the "Bird is a Word" video for Brian please?

                      Right, UND fans are monsters compared to goof fans what with the "flipping the bird" and all the "mean comments" they make towards other team's fans. What's next?! Riots?!

                        I saw a tree in that video, so I know it wasn't North Dakota by mistake.

                          North Dakota has a $2 billion surplus, if we want trees we will hire some of you ditch diggers to plant them.

                            I love the Trashmen. They are after all from Minnesota.

                            dggoddard - Minnesota is THE ELITE Program in all of college hockey.
                            wasmania - you have to be the very best to get ice time with the great gophers!
