[QUOTE="Illiini, post: 1326599, member: 625513"] I've been promoting this for years, literally. I don't think a dancer would necessarily have to be a student, and in fact, inviting a Native dancer to perform in honor of an increased understanding between students and Native tribes would be an honor, I'd think. Fancy feather regalia could be developed between the university and, say, the Peoria, bringing elements from both to the final product. I have also supported "exchange programs" between the Peoria and the university, along with service projects, with students going to Oklahoma. Students would learn more in a week or two helping out with projects on tribal properties than they ever would in classroom indoctrinations, with benefits to the tribal properties as well. Remember that the Peoria were willing to work with the university on reaching some sort of understanding, but previous chancellor Janet Wise refused outright (though to give credit where credit is due, the scholarship program was under her watch). There is a way for everyone to win--except those who are deadset against any kind of relationship--if we are willing to work together. Fancy feather on the field? Everyone wins.
