U. of I. allows Chief images in homecoming parade
Chicago Daily Herald – Chicago Daily Herald – Oct 29, 2007
– Chief Illiniwek may be gone but images depicting the controversial University of Illinois mascot will stick around — at least during homecoming. A day before Friday’s homecoming parade university officials overturned a ban on any likeness of Illiniwek an American Indian in a feathered headdress in floats. The decision allows pictures to be used. Chancellor Richard Herman consulted with attorneys and other university officials last week and decided the policy for homecoming restricted free speech. “It’s a freedom of speech freedom of expression issue” university spokeswoman Robin Kaler said Sunday. “The university places great value on those two things.
Sweat lodge helps people connect to higher power
Ventura County Star – Oct 29, 2007
As they enter and exit the sweat lodge participants are required by tradition to say these Lakota tribe words which mean “all my relations. Thus begins the sacred American Indian ritual of purification and healing that happens in the inipi or sweat lodge. Moses Mora of Ventura has been involved with “sweats” for 30 years. He has led the sweat lodge at Spirit Dancer Ranch in Moorpark for six of those years. Doctors actors teachers artists counselors — people of all professions — come. What they have in common is that they are “spiritual people” Mora says… It is a way to purify one’s mind body and spirit said Mora who is both Mexican-American and Mejica an American Indian tribe from the New Mexico area. He is a “sundancer” or spiritual leader. Almost every American Indian tribe has its own version of a sweat lodge. Mora uses traditions from the Lakota and Plains tribes in his sweats. The lodge is in a small isolated valley with a creek bed. As participants arrive on a Saturday evening a fire is already raging and will heat the rocks used in the ceremony. Nearby stand the skeletons of two domed structures made of small willow branches.

For many years the nursing department had a successful program with several two-year American Indian colleges. They enrolled American Indian students in UW-Eau Claire classes Taft said. Yet the American Indian colleges were the ones who funded the program and when they no longer had the money to do so the program ended. It is not only race where diversity is lacking said David Chollar clinical instructor and director of internship for the Department of Social Work. Chollar is also worried about the lack of a visible gay community he said. While the university itself is beautiful he has never even seen a rainbow flag or anything that identifies such a group on campus he said.
