there was many councils with the school about trying 2 get the chief more like a Illinois chief an they refused 2 respect the native culture i have told the school if they hold a pow-wow 2 show they honer the people they portray the school refuses an one of the biggest problems with the chief is the school racks in tons of money off his image an gives zero of it 2 native american indians an that it self is verry dis respectful ~~~ i like 2 see the chief return but do it in a way its respectful

Ignorance is Bliss for all you hicks that dont get it. I know the picture of your jesus, lets make someone up like you picture and use him as a mascott better off lets make him practice witchcraft casting out demons in front of a university. Then you hicks would get it..

No YOU obviously don't get it. Your racism is far worse than what you think you perceive here in this video. Did you ever wonder why everyone cheers for him? Is it because we love to mock Natives? No. It is in reverence for something that is bigger than any individual. The Chief was an embodiment of the qualities that we hold ourselves to try and achieve at UofI: honor, loyalty, courage, and pride. How is that offensive? It's a matter of perception. Whose perception is correct? Who's to say?
