In Whose Honor with guest Charlene Teters
Manage episode 284418578 series 2871708
The legendary, unparalleled, prolific, powerful, and all around amazing person...Charlene Teters.
We briefly discuss the documentary, In Whose Honor, but mostly deep dive into Charlene's time at the University of Illinois and her experience being an advocate for changing the name. Charlene discusses her evolution from being a shy girl that stayed quiet about her opinions on the Native mascot to becoming the sole advocate for changing the university mascot, Chief Illiniwek.
She has had an illustrious career and up to this point she has been an artist, activist, professor, academic dean, and icon in Indian Country. I am happy to share this conversation with you all.
While this is not directly related to film, it shows how film representation can influence reality. This documentary and conversation demonstrates how film and television frames mindsets about what Native people are and what "Honoring" looks like to non-Native people.
Enjoy this episode and join us next week when we chat about this documentary with Director Jay Rosenstein!
