The University of North Dakota Fighting Hawks. The University tried relentlessly to keep its beloved "Fighting Sioux" nickname for many years. Now, 10 years later, there is a new push from a well-known member of the Spirit Lake Nation Sioux tribe to reinstate the "Fighting Sioux" nickname. That's a letter from Frank Black Cloud that was posted to his Facebook page, which was meant to be shared with the residents of North Dakota and the University of North Dakota. Seek renewed tribal consultations, challenge outdated NCAA policies, and pass legislation to reinstate the Fighting Sioux nickname and logo.
