Last Sunday, Lily Gladstone became the first Indigenous person to win the Best Actress Award at the Golden Globes. Gladstone won the award for her portrayal of Mollie Burkhart in “Killers of the Flower Moon.”
Gladstone has Blackfeet and Nimíipuu heritage and spent the first 11 years of her life on a reservation of the Blackfeet Nation.
In her acceptance speech, which began in Blackfeet language, Gladstone shared that “This is for every rez kid, every little urban kid, every little Native kid out there who has a dream.”
This is a historic and hugely important moment. Congratulations Lily Gladstone!
