Redskins (which I assume your example is based from) and a name like Fighting Sioux are completely different things. UND has made a commitment to including the Sioux in decisions about logos and image, the whole point is to honor the heritage of the region. Of the 2 Sioux tribes in the region the only one that was permitted to vote on the name/logo approved of it.
