Dartmouth paper: Natives getting 'restless'


More than 500 people rallied in support of the Native community at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, a day after an independent student newspaper published an issue with the title "The Natives are Getting Restless!"

The issue of The Dartmouth Review (http://www.dartreview.com) made light of recent incidents that have targeted Native students. "The Review was more or less a tipping point," sophomore Samuel Kohn, a member of the Crow Tribe of Montana, told the Associated Press.

When Dartmouth was founded in 1769, part of its mission was to educate Native Americans. But only 20 Natives graduated from the school in the first 200 years.

Dartmouth got rid of its "Indian" mascot but The Review and some alumni continue to produce t-shirts and memorabilia with the image.
