Lily Gladstone first Native American woman nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress.

illuminative Lily Gladstone (Siksikaitsitapii/Nimíipuu) cements her legacy as the first Native American woman nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress.

This nomination represents a radical change in Hollywood where Native peoples, our culture and our stories, are centered and told authentically.

For decades, the entertainment industry has perpetuated harmful stereotypes and contributed to the erasure of Native peoples. We welcome this new era, where Native talent and communities are included in all aspects of the industry and have the power to author and shape our own narratives.

This is an important moment for Lily Gladstone who has used her platform to advocate for the Osage Nation and the true history behind the Osage Reign of Terror. Her achievement paves the way for Native creatives and for more Native stories to be centered on screen.

Join us in celebrating this historic nomination! Congratulations, @lilygladstone!
