This question is for anybody with  Indian heritage or anyone with an opinion.
I can understand why you may find some of the mascots and team names offensive, but I  can't understand why chief Illiniwek is being chastised. What does he do that is  so offensive ?  or a disservice to your heritage ?

I'm confused ! pardon my stupidity. Yes, you are Sioux.  Does the mascot chief  Illinwek offend you ? Or could you give two shits.
