Answered my own question about FSU and the Seminoles:

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/24/sp...anted=all&_r=0

Also mentions the Fighting Sioux of UND and quotes a Seminole who is a lifelong Miami Hurricane fan :

'Affection for the Seminoles is not absolute. Several houses feature University of Miami mailboxes and banners. Joe Cypress, who called himself an "original Seminole," lives on the reservation with his Miccosukee wife and said he had been a Hurricanes fan all his life.

"It don't bother me," he said of the Seminoles nickname and of his neighbors who support Florida State. "We coexist."'
