CONFIDENTIAL ALMANAC | Dates in Film Culture History<\/strong><\/p>\n

20 Years Ago<\/strong> \u2026 Tuesday, July 15, 1997:<\/em> As part of its tenth season on PBS<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, the nonfiction showcase POV<\/strong> airs a documentary produced by University of Illinois<\/strong> faculty member Jay Rosenstein<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, IN WHOSE HONOR?<\/strong> At its heart is Charlene Teters<\/strong>, a Native American belonging to the Spokane tribe who became alarmed by the presence of sports mascot \u201cChief Illiniwek<\/strong>\u201d on the UI campus while attending for graduate studies in the late Eighties. Her subsequent efforts to alert the general public on the misuse of Indians as commercialized symbols, in particular for activities embraced largely by white audiences who otherwise ignore their racist and classist overtones, created a firestorm of opinion and emotion in Champaign-Urbana<\/strong>. HONOR<\/strong> presents the issue in a balanced and rational manner while illustrating a stubborn lack of empathy from \u201cChief\u201d defenders who see the fictional warrior as a positive influence on the student body and iconic symbol embraced by alumni. More than one million viewers tune in to this episode of POV<\/strong>, according to Rosenstein<\/a><\/span>, and HONOR<\/strong> has persisted as a catalyst in the discussion of cultural appropriation in America during conferences and film festivals, via community organizations, and within the classroom<\/a><\/span> ever since. Following Teters\u2019 lead and Rosenstein\u2019s convictions, Indian activists and allies would accelerate their protests across the United States<\/strong> of similar imagery connected to sports teams. Original distributor New Day Films<\/strong> of Blooming Grove, NY<\/strong>, a specialist in social issue media, still offers HONOR<\/strong><\/a><\/span> to rent or purchase for educational use.<\/p>\n
