This past January for her role in “Killers of the Flower Moon”, Lily Gladstone made cinematic history as the first indigenous actress to win a Golden Globe as Best Actress in a Motion Picture and a Screen Actors Guild Award and to be nominated for an Oscar.  Their remarkable resume, includes small independent films, regional theatre and television roles (HBO’s Room 104, Showtime’s Billions, FX’s Reservation Dogs and Hulu’s Under the Bridge) Of Piegan Blackfeet, Nez Perce and European heritage, Gladstone identifies as a “middle- gendered” person, since in most Native American languages there are no gendered pronouns – no “he/she,” only “they.”  Also a non-binary gay woman, they are breaking down barriers, in Hollywood and beyond. They have won praise for their work with the National Indigenous Women’s Resources Center, as it seeks to end violence against indigenous women. With their new-found fame, they are building an honest, powerful platform for their indigenous and LGBTQ communities.
