Where "bison" is the technical term for the beast (all true buffalo being restricted to Africa and Asia, I believe), "buffalo" is too ingrained in North American culture for many people to even know there is a difference.
I'm not sure whether to take it seriously or not. On the Sioux issue, it's naming a team after a group of people, which is just weird. On the Bison issue, it's not like once one group has claimed their (non-human) totem, no other group can.

From Lame Deer, Mont., on the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation, comes another complaint about a sports nickname and logo perceived by some as insensitive.Continued . . .
No, this one isn’t about UND.
Despite “all the stories, all the talk and all the controversy over UND’s ‘Fighting Sioux’ moniker, as an Indian … I find much more offense in NDSU’s ‘Bison’ mascot,” Joe Abbot wrote in a letter published in the Forum of Fargo-Moorhead.
“The buffalo was sacred to my people,” he wrote. “It was our food, our shelter, our religion and it was life itself. How dare a white man’s university take our deity and make it a sports team mascot?
