I attended Eastern Michigan when we were the Hurons. When the Board decided that they had to change the mascot to the Eagles, a chief from the Huron tribe attended and said that they were honored to have EMU's mascot named after them and didn't find it disrespectful at all. He asked them not to change it. They changed it anyway. I went to a couple homecomings after they first changed it but couldn't get into anything because they had changed the fight song, the cheers, everything. I still know all the words to the old fight song, but have no idea what the melody even is of the new one. I thought the whole thing was ridiculous. I still do.
