I acknowledge that this isn't exactly a national news event, but it gets to the (poorly stated) point of this site: How does the rest of the world view our generally unknown state?Louise Erdrich and the Fighting Sioux athletes are people we should want North Dakota associated with -- talented folks who excel in the top ranks of their chosen fields, in this case, literature and college sports. It'd just be nice if we could have the one while avoiding being thought of as stubbornly resistant to giving up our offensive imagery.
("Sure," you say, "but how many hockey trophies has Louise Erdrich won?" But still ...)
