A large anti-Chief protest was held on the University of Illinois campus "Quad" on March 10-11, 2004. Native Americans from Illinois, Minnesota and Michigan spoke to crowds at the Illini Union during the afternoon, and a large rally was held that evening.

The protest coincided with "Our Day of Honor," an educational effort presenting information about Native American culture.

Movies from the rally appear below. "sml", "med", and "big" refer to progressively larger and higher quality video. All movies are quicktime (QT) unless otherwise noted. The quicktime movie player is free for Windows and Macintosh computers.
