Chief Supporters Ask Fans To Rally This Weekend
(Urbana, IL) — Chief Illiniwek fans are asking supporters of the gone-but-not-forgotten mascot to rally this weekend. They’re asking people to wear their Chief gear to the Paint The Hall Chief rally. The University of Illinois retired the chief back in 2007 after years of complaints about cultural appropriation. Fans say they want to honor the Chief, Illinois’ native people, and the tradition at the U of I.
