The Cleveland Indians. Washington Redskins. Atlanta Braves. What's wrong
with American Indian sports mascots? This moving, award-winning film is the
first of its kind to address that subject.
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.
