“Dartmouth College has been repeatedly roiled in recent weeks over the way some students are treating the very people the school was founded to help: American Indians. More than 500 students, faculty and administrators rallied in support of the American Indian community on Wednesday, a day after The Dartmouth Review published on its front page a picture of an Indian warrior brandishing a scalp with the headline, ‘The Natives are Getting Restless!’ ‘Like an open wound, Dartmouth is hurting — we have all been insulted,’ college president James Wright told the crowd gathered before Dartmouth Hall. Some carried signs reading ‘Stop Hate Speech,’ ‘Civil Discourse’ and ‘Standing Against Racism.’ A few carried umbrellas pasted with signs reading ‘Unity.’” (11/30/06)
