>         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.
