             "The power and the ways are given to us to be passed on to others. To think
             anything else is pure selfishness. We get more by giving them away, and if we do not give
             them away, we lose them," the highly respected Chief Fools Crow once stated(Welker 1).

             Illiniwek performs is a pow wow dance, which is a way of meeting together, to join in
             dancing, singing, visiting, renewing old friendships, and making new ones. As stated on
             http://www.geocities.com, Chief Illiniwek's dance is a type of Oglala-Lakota Sioux dance
             called Fancy dance, which is celebratory in nature, has no religious, war, or ceremonial
             significance. The origin of pow wow is believed to be the societies of the Poncha and
             other Southern Plains tribes(1). These dances may have had different meaning in the past,

             of Illinois songs; "Pride of the Illini", "March of the Illini", "Hail to the Orange"(Beckham
             1). This celebrated tradition has been performed at the conclusion of every half time show
             in Memorial Stadium for nearly seventy-five years.
