The Chief

As a graduate of the University of Illinois, I have always enjoyed and appreciated its great symbol - Chief Illiniwek. His dance was researched historically to be an authentic Indian dance. The headdress he wears is authentic and was given to the University by a Sioux Indian Chief. He is not a caricature or mascot, but a respected symbol of a proud heritage. The forces of intolerance and political correctness have succeeded in ending this 80 year tradition. In honor of the Chief, here is his last dance.
