    Standing Rock residents suggest vote on Fighting Sioux nickname

    Fort Yates, North Dakota (AP)

    Some members of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe say a tribal vote should be held on the fate of the University of North Dakota’s Fighting Sioux nickname.

    “I’m not sure if it would pass or not,” Ricky Red Eagle said. “But the answer has to come from the people.”

    Red Eagle was one of 11 Standing Rock tribal members interviewed by the Grand Forks Herald recently at the tribe’s Prairie Knights Casino in Fort Yates.
