But back to Chief Illiniwek...
Turns out the regalia he wore was that of a completely different tribe, Oglala Sioux. An Oglala chief had sold the clothing, including the eagle feather head dress, to the university 20 or so years ago, though not intending to clothe the mascot. Too bad the university decided to use it for that, instead of much-more needed educational purposes.
