QuoteNathon Breu is the student caretaker of the drum at EQI. "This drum is a live spiritual being in our culture. I try to take care of it in the traditional way so it's not disrespected and put in a closet collecting dust. It enjoys being sung, and it wants the people to unite. That's what the purpose [of this drum] is, to unite people. Not just the Native people. All people," said Breu.

QuoteThe 1970's were a particularly active time for the American Indian Movement (AIM). Many members of the younger generation of American Indians were pushing back against the fact that many of their elders had been forced to assimilate into the broader American culture. "A lot of these people were put into boarding schools and told not to speak their language," said Breu.

Quote"There was a lot of shame in speaking your language. [by the 1970's] Our languages were looking at becoming extinct, a zombie language. There was a great push for the revitalization of the language," said Breu.

QuotePow Wows are generally open for the greater public to attend, and open for anyone to participate during most dances. "In our original teachings of the circle of life, and the four races of man, you can't take out any one of those races because then your circle is incomplete. That's why everyone is welcome to these ceremonies and this drum. Life ceases to exist if people are excluded from it," Breu said.

Nathon Breu claims his "adopted father" Bobby Bullet St. Germaine told him he should identify as Ojibwe on UW-Milwaukee's Office of Sustainability Instagram page:

Is Nathon going to say Bobby Bullet St. Germaine told him to take funding intended for Native American students from the McNair Scholars Program, Great Lakes Native American Research Center for Health, and Advanced Opportunity Program? Did he tell Nathon to identify his race as American Indian on official court records?
