University of North Dakota seeks to revive "Fighting Sioux" nickname, sparking debate over tradition vs. cultural sensitivity.

A growing movement at the University of North Dakota aims to restore the "Fighting Sioux" nickname and logo, which were retired in 2011 due to Native American advocacy and concerns over cultural appropriation. Supporters argue the nickname honors the school's history and tradition, while opponents maintain it perpetuates stereotypes. The debate continues as the university reviews the issue, with some alumni and students pushing for a reversal amid ongoing discussions about identity, respect, and heritage.
