i understand your concern about native american rights. however, i don't understand how you can take a relationship that is almost 200 years old, between two groups of people that have worked together constantly for almost 200 years and compare it to tribes that were killed and exploited. that didn't happen in this relationship. stated numerous times by me and by DeltAlum, Miami University and the Miami Indian Tribe CHOSE this name together, a name which the school no longer uses because of people like you that were offended by it. therefore, i don't see how you can pretty much attack the school for something that no longer exists, the nickname. however, the relationship with the Miami Indians is still going strong. do you take offense to that too? is that a problem for you? the Miami Indian did not complain about having to move, they were very willing to move. the ties between the two groups are incredibly strong. the university hosts the Indian Chief and other members of the tribe at the school every single year. the Tribe hosts faculty and students of Miami University every single year. there are exchange programs constantly happening. there is incredible history between the two groups that will never change.
