[QUOTE="UofI08, post: 1326508, member: 5239"] Well though out argument. My biggest issue is with the bolded. Who is to say what is the most overtly Native American thing? Honestly this seems like a "low hanging fruit" type of thing. "Let's eliminate the short song with no words or motions. Nobody will care that much." The war chant is nothing more than a drum beat with some horns and clapping. Sure it sounds like it could come from Pocahontas, but there's nothing offensive about it unless you have something against music. You could really make solid arguments that of the 3 in 1, Oskee Wow Wow, War Chant, and name Fighting Illini, the War Chant was actually the least offensive thing. [/QUOTE]
