@@ericdailey8587The Illiniwek (Illinois) was a tribal confederation. It was composed of the Kaskaskia, Kahokia, Peoria, Tamaroa, Moingwena, Michigamea, Chepoussa, Chinkoa, Coiracoentanon, and Espeminkia tribes.
Will all those who are descendants of native Americans who dwelt in Illinois step forward and tell us if Chief Illiniwek and the "War Chant" were offensive? (Why are only white liberals offended?). In 2022, people still shout "CHIEF" at halftime when the Three in One is played. Long live Chief Illiniwek.
Once again I am ashamed of my home town ! Worse than here in Co. Deep down, it's all like the "personal" license plate fad still alive there. The problem is nothing else to do there ! Way, way to much time to be in others business. That would not fly out here. Illini Nation just rolled over. Stop going to the stupid games !!!!!!!!!!!! See ??? nothing else to do. Out here you can't see or do all there is.
Hey, it's that professor that was arrested for recording a student using the bathroom. Talk about respecting people's rights.
To be clear, Chief Illiniwek was never a "mascot". The Chief was a symbol.
Leave it to a faculty member to screw up everything
It was honoring the once proud Illiniwek tribe. We have permission from the tribe itself... This is bullshit, grow some balls
Will never donate one red cent to my alma mater
The Illiniwek tribe will be forgotten.
I don't think there ever was such a tribe (but maybe that depends on the source you consult).
