    It is a "darker side of this story, a side we must acknowledge," Jenkins said in a letter Sunday.


    In 2017, more than 300 students, employees and Notre Dame alumni signed a letter in the campus newspaper that called for the removal of the murals.

    The president of the Native American Student Association praised Jenkins' decision.

    "This is a good step towards acknowledging the full humanity of those native people who have come before us," said Marcus Winchester-Jones of Dowagiac, Michigan

    I sure wish Notre Dame wouldn't do that.

    I like tradition.. I also love Little Black Sambo who outwitted the tiger and Huckleberry Finn. .. and I dearly love Uncle Remus.. Those stories are not just wise but extraordinary. We should cherish them.

    I think its a mistake.. We should appreciate all our culture. Erasing history is not the answer.
