Tribal leaders said the University of North Dakota hasn't done enough to address racism among the student body.

A group of students wore "Siouxper Drunk" t-shirts at an off-campus event earlier this month. Tribal leaders said the incident reflects how racism is accepted at a school that only recently got rid of its "Fighting Sioux" mascot and logo.

"Expel them," David Archambault, the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, said at a forum on Monday, the Grand Forks Herald reported. "Expel the students. Zero tolerance. If you do something like that, we won’t be meeting like this every other year.”

UND officials took part in a protest organized by Indian students this past Saturday. Students also criticized administrators for not taking action.

In related news, Bobby Bird Jr., a member of the Saginaw Chippewa Tribe of Michigan, created "Siouxper Sober" t-shirts in response to the controversy. He isn't connected to UND but he wanted to show his solidarity among Native people.

"We’ve just seen this blatant racism,” Bird told the Herald. “These stereotypes, it’s kind of mind-blowing.”
