On the subject of UND choosing a new nickname, I do not understand what a Hawk has to do with fighting. Any hawk I ever saw was scooping down for mice in a plowed field or pecking at road kill. I do not know why they couldn't have gone with something on the order of Fighting Chiefs, and the same logo could have been maintained. The word chief has been used in different titles as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Petty Officer, Chief bottle washer, etc. so no, it is not owned by the Native Americans. The only people that would have a problem with that are the ones that make it an issue in their mind. The Sioux are a tribe, but a chief is nothing more than the above mentioned. Go Fighting Chiefs!
