From Indianz:
South Dakota students protest ‘Fighting Sioux’
Wednesday, November 14, 2007
Indian students at the University of South Dakota protested the “Fighting Sioux” logo and nickname of the University of North Dakota.
Holding signs that read “There is no honor in racism” and “American Indians are people not mascots,” the students protested outside of a game against UND. They said the “Sioux” name was offensive. “I believe what they’re doing is disrespectful to our people,” Sinte Nupa Gilbert, a member of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe, told The Volante Online. The students want USD to refuse to play games with UND until the “Sioux” name and logo are eliminated. UND signed a settlement that calls for elimination of the name within three years unless tribal approval is obtained.

Greetings:
I am on an APA Division 17 (Counseling Psychology) committee, Taking Action Against Racism, and we’re putting together a website of resources for educators and the public. We’d like to post images of people taking action against racism. I have a request:
May we use a copy of the “South Dakota students protest ‘Fighting Sioux’” photo on this blog?
We’ll be rolling out the website at APA in August, so we need images as soon as possible.
Thank you for considering this.

OK, but it’s not ours, so our permission might not mean much.
