("Culture Infused" Art Exhibit Presented by Cal Poly Pomona's La Bounty Chair of Interdisciplinary Applied Knowledge. ) ''California State Polytechnic University, Pomona.'' 8 Nov 2005 (retrieved 15 May 2009)〕 Her paintings and art installations have been featured in over 21 major exhibitions, commissions, and collections. She is a member of the Spokane Tribe,〔(Installation Art: Charlene Teters. ) ''Rhythms of the Globe.'' (retrieved 15 May 2009)〕 and her Spokane name is Slum Tah.〔Hirschfelder, Arlene B. ''Native Heritage: Personal Accounts by American Indians, 1790 to the Present.'' Madison: University of Wisconsin Press, 2008: xiv. ISBN 978-0-02-860412-1.〕 She was born and raised in Spokane, Washington, near the Spokane Indian Reservation. ==Education and activism== She has been active in opposing the use of Native American mascots and other imagery in sports since 1989. She is a founding board member of the National Coalition on Racism in Sports and the Media (NCRSM). Beginning in 1984, she attended the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA), in Santa Fe, New Mexico, graduating in 1986 with an Associate of Fine Arts in painting. She then attended the College of Santa Fe (now Santa Fe University of Art and Design), graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting in 1988. In 1988, she began graduate studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's Department of Art and Design, eventually graduating with a Master of Fine Arts degree in painting. In 1989, she reacted strongly to the performance of a pseudo-Native American dance by a European American student portraying "Chief Illiniwek" at a university basketball game and soon after began to protest silently outside athletic events while holding a small sign reading "Indians are human beings."〔Spindel 2002; Rosenstein 1997〕 Her actions and those of other Native American students at the University of Illinois, such as Marcus Amerman,〔. ''The NEA Higher Education Journal.'' 121-130 (retrieved 15 May 2009)〕 led to a strong upswing in efforts to eliminate Native American imagery in school, university, and university athletics throughout the United States and a film (''In Whose Honor'' by Jay Rosenstein) was produced on the subject.〔 Teters also holds an honorary doctorate in fine art from Mitchell College in New London, Connecticut. On October 10, 1997 she was honored as "Person of the Week" by Peter Jennings on the ''ABC World News Tonight'' program, for her commitment to her work and her people.〔 In the mid-1990s Teters served as Senior Editor of ''Native Artist Magazine''.〔 She currently lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico and serves as Professor of Art at the Institute of American Indian Arts and has served as Dean for Arts and Cultural Studies at IAIA. From 2005 through 2007, she has also served as Hugh O. LaBounty Endowed Chair of Interdisciplinary Knowledge at California State Polytechnic University in Pomona, California.〔 Teters was the first artist-in-residence at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, New York.〔(Biography for Charlene Teters. ) ''AskArt.''
