From the Minneapolis Star & Tribune

North Dakota's Board of Higher Education has agreed to drop the University 
of North Dakota's Fighting Sioux nickname and Indian head logo, a move 
intended to resolve a decades-long dispute about whether the name 
demeans American Indians.

The name and logo, which is a profile of an American Indian man with 
feathers and streaks of paint on his face, could survive if North Dakota's 
Standing Rock and Spirit Lake Sioux tribes agree by Oct. 1 to give the 
university permission to use them for at least 30 years.

However, tribal officials say that possibility is remote. Unless the name and 
logo receive tribal endorsement, they will be retired for good on Aug. 1, 
2010.

Thank you,
