I did tell him I was going to issue this appeal. I have talked with no fewer than several dozen American Indians on this, him included.

We have to clear the air,

It has actually widened the gap and increased the negative rhetoric, ... It has not been helpful with anything at all. It's like playing two record players in a room whenever there's a discussion about it.

O'er the land of the free, and the home of the Sioux.

The fact is most Caucasians, most American Indians, don't have much time for this issue at all, ... They don't think it's really important when you look at things like unemployment, the need for economic development, health care needs, education, methamphetamines - all the big issues of the day - this one pales and shrinks almost to nothing in comparison.

We believe the NCAA is completely out of bounds in having promulgated its ill-conceived policy on nicknames in the first place.

I would not accept a donation from a donor who would make a condition. We're trying to set up an unconditional endowment to support Sioux Indian students.

We've given them a resolution, ... The only way I can understand it is that they are saying to Spirit Lake 'are you sure you want to do that?'

Obviously, we do not agree with the decision, and we will continue to press our case through all of the levels of review and beyond as necessary,

We must press our case, because to let the charge of hostile and abusive stand would have a chilling effect to prospective faculty, staff and, most importantly, prospective American Indian students we are here to serve,

They are told, by people with I don't know what kind of agenda, that the use of these things is hostile and abusive, and we're going to make the case that there is no such thing on this campus,

no choice but to pursue an appeal.

The NCAA unfortunately has put us in a box where we now have to defend our honor, as it were, ... They've called us 'hostile and abusive,' and we know, because we live here, that there's no such thing here. We'll have to prove it, I guess.

We understand there are people who prefer we not use this nickname. There may even be some who say they are not honored by it. But that certainly doesn't constitute a test of what is hostile and abusive.

We believe our use of the nickname and logo is respectful and appropriate. ... A recent statewide poll showed our nickname is not offensive to a majority of American Indian people and, interestingly, one of four Indians polled indicate support for UND would be reduced if we changed the name. We are awaiting the results of our appeal to the NCAA.
