Interior Secretary Sally Jewell took her cue from the President’s concerns over the name, saying that “personally, I think we would never consider naming a team the ‘Blackskins’ or the ‘Brownskins’ or the ‘Whiteskins.’ So, personally, I find it surprising that in this day and age, the name is not different.” Jewell oversees both the park land and relations with Native American tribes in the area, and raises valid objections. |

The answer to changing it has always been to go after the cash... Not whining and appealing to people's sensitivity. No one cared enough to do anything real about this for 80 years.

•Native Americans live, on average, over five years less than other Americans. The life expectancy for the general population is 76.9 years. The life expectancy for Indians is 71.1 years. Native Americans around Aberdeen SD can expect to live only to their 64th birthday.
•Native American young people are 2.5 times more likely to commit suicide than the population as a whole. Another study showed that within Native populations, young men are the most likely to kill themselves. In the general population, elderly males are most likely.
•Native Americans have alcohol dependency rates that are three times higher than the national average. Almost 20 percent of all Indian deaths are alcohol-related, compared with less than 5 percent for the general population.

Anyone who gets a sound byte on TV news or gets quoted in a newspaper article about the nickname and what an terrible insult it is to Native Americans but once this story dies out never gives them another thought is no one to admire.
