in reply to a message by Mar
I don't understand people disliking the use of a name because it is the name of a tribe.

besides I'm not trying to sound rude at all but many Natives use non Native American names (I do understand the special meanings of certain names though). It's also a state [Dakota] which I'm sure most people got the name from in the first place. They probably weren't thinking of the Tribe.
There are many many tribes that are non-native american that are used as names but no one complains about those as Mar has said.
