| | "In Whose Honor" Film Documentary - 11.3.2009 | Location: Student Center Room 300
Time: 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
| Description: | In Whose Honor takes a critical look at the long-running practice of "honoring" American Indians as mascots and nicknames in sports. It follows the story of Native American mother Charlene Teters, and her transformation into the leader some are calling the "Rosa Parks of American Indians" as she struggles to protect her cultural symbols and identity. In Whose Honor looks at the issues of racism, stereotypes, minority representation and the powerful effects of mass-media imagery, and the extent to which one university will go to defend and justify its mascot.
Facilitated by Professor Lori Burlingame
