Re: Sioux nickname change likely with tribe stand

for real? the district judge is from und? wow, that sounds fishy, first they pressure chapman and remove him, now they have a und judge pressuring the standing rock, see a trend anyone? just shameful, i think every conference should blackball them!

Joe's source was close. While a flickertail is of course a Richardson's ground squirrel, a northern flicker is a bird.

Re: Sioux nickname change likely with tribe stand

I've given you a break Joeboo22 in recent time but this post reminds me of the crap you used to post when you first joined this board. A Flickertail isn't a bird!!! So the six ND people who supposedely told you this was true must be really smart! Keep this kind of 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th hand, etc information off this board please. Please for everyone's sake stick to news that can be validated with an online article or something of substance.

Only one of them told me that a flickertail was a bird and that was a member of the tribe that goes to college in South Dakota....

I said it seemed like a joke, I didn't come on and say I got really good sources, I just said that I talked to these people and thats what they said.... It was a conference I was at that had students from both UND and NDSU, and then when I came back one of the people that lives in my dorm that is a member of one of the tribes said that she had heard that they were changing it to the flickertails and I asked what a flickertail was and she was like a bird but they will keep the flame UND for the mean time....

Re: Sioux nickname change likely with tribe stand

I don't know if this is a joke, but I was told by 2 people that go to UND, 2 that go to NDSU and 2 members of one of the tribes that UND will change there name to the "flickertails" they will go with the UND with the flame logo for now before developing a bird logo because that is what a flickertail is.....

It seems like a joke to me but I really don't know.....

Re: Sioux nickname change likely with tribe stand

It would be interesting if they developed a bird logo... a flickertail is a ground squirrel.

shows u what I know.... just saying what the 2 members of the tribe told me.... ok maybe it was a squirrel then....

Re: Sioux nickname change likely with tribe stand

You can get any judge to give you a stay/court order.... the hard part is getting it to stick....

Well no, there are several things you need to show in your filing, but you are correct that it is more difficult to get a preliminary injunction converted to a permanent injunction.

Re: Sioux nickname change likely with tribe stand

That court order is bizarre.

Nowhere in the initial settlement did it say that the tribes needed to approve DROPPING the nickname. Therefore the tribe has no standing to sue, IMO.

I haven't looked, but I believe that order may be the result of the "home town justice." I suspect the judge is a graduate of UND & UND school of law. Pure speculation, but unless they came up with some legal argument I can't come up, and that is very possible, I don't get what the basis is for the order.

Re: Sioux nickname change likely with tribe stand

One issue with the nickname is that the some of the most ardent defenders of the Sioux nickname are highly disrespectful of native Americans, so it makes the claim that the nickname is to honor native Americans ring rather hollow. That disprespect from some of the supporters doesn't go without being noticed, so it undermines support among the tribes.
