>>>Dear  Colleagues:
>>>
>>>Please consider making a personal statement, and/or reminding 
>>>those present of your  program's resolution at any time during the 
>>>following events in Wednesday March 10th. Please also invite your 
>>>students to participate.  This gathering of Native peoples on 
>>>campus provides an important educational opportunity for the 
>>>campus to learn from those most affected by the Illiniwek issue:
>>>
>>>
>>>Native Americans Of Illinois
>>>"Our Day Of Honor" 
>>>
>>>On March 10-11, Native Americans from all over Illinois and the 
>>>Great Lakes region will gather to hold a rally at the University 
>>>of Illinois in Champaign/Urbana, to support Native people and 
>>>proponents working for equal justice for Native Americans at the 
>>>university.  The purpose of the rally is to advocate for the 
>>>retirement of "Chief Illiniwek" and to provide an additional 
>>>educational opportunity for students, staff and faculty to hear 
>>>the voices of Native Americans on this issue.  The Board of 
>>>Trustees, which will meet on March 11th,  also needs to hear from 
>>>the Native people of this state and region -- that a stereotypical 
>>>image of a Native American dishonors Native people and the 
>>>university itself.
>>>
>>>
>>>Itinerary for March 10-11  rally,  north end of the Quad.
>>>
>>>March 10th
>>>12:00pm Prayers and/or pipe ceremonies

>>>This rally has been organized by NAES (Native American Educational 
>>>Services) College in Chicago. They are calling on everyone to 
>>>stand with them at this important time.  "Let's band together to 
>>>demand the respect that we, the original people deserve."
>>>
