Let's assume that the Sioux nation, or some representative organization, gets recognized by the French courts and is allowed to pursue this through legal action. How far do they think that they will get? Don't forget this is a nation that will not allow Muslim women to wear a veil in the interests of maintaining a secular societal outlook. The French government isn't above trampling on a minority group when it suits them.

I suspect this case will be more about trademark law than minority rights. I also think they, unfortunately, probably have a case. If someone were to name a strip club after your grandfather, you could probably demand that they pay you royalties for the right to continue using the name as well.
That is most likely why none of the owners of the Crazy Horse is willing to comment right now. I suspect they will come to some sort of settlement.
