Lily Gladstone opened up backstage at the Golden Globes on Sunday about her decision to speak Blackfoot — the language of her heritage — in her acceptance speech after winning Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama.
“It’s often how I introduce myself to a new group of people, especially when it’s significant,” Gladstone said. “One of the first things we’re taught is you say your name, you say where you’re from and you say hello to everyone, all of my friends. It was one of the more natural things I could do in the moment.”
Gladstone, who is of Blackfoot and Nez Perce heritage, just became the first Indigenous person to win an award for Best Actress.

This article contains spoilers for the ending of The Umbrella Academy season 3.
As far as Umbrella Academy finales go, season 3’s “Oblivion” is unusually, well…final.
With the respective conclusions of its first two seasons, The Umbrella Academy finished on chaotic, potentially world-threatening cliffhangers that would need immediate addressing at the top of the following season.
The ending of season 1 saw the unfortunate destruction of planet Earth with our heroes escaping to parts (and times) unknown with only seconds to spare. Season 2 then brought the Hargreeves children back to the “present” only to discovery that something had gone horribly wrong as “The Sparrow Academy” were unwelcome intruders in their own home. By contrast, season 3 leaves things off with quite a few plots settled.
Reginald Hargreeves seemingly achieves one of his biggest goals and his “children” get the opportunity to start their lives over, albeit without the crutch of their powers.

As we observe Native American Heritage Month, there are as many historical contributions to celebrate by our people as there are things happening in the current cultural landscape. Within cinema, there’s been a recent blossoming of films by Indigenous filmmakers internationally on the festival circuit and beyond that have been pushing the form and actively engaging with the very open-ended question: what is an Indigenous Cinema?
Well, what is it? There’s no one style, genre or format to answer that question, which makes this current moment exciting and palpable in terms of what it’s laying down for the next few decades of Indigenous filmmakers to come. In essence, it’s Indigenous artists expressing themselves through their own culture, experience and ultimately, their own lens.
A good indication of what’s going on now and how that future might track can be seen through the following directors and their films:
“Fast Horse” (2019) – dir.

In a world where a Democrat presidential candidate can insult a Us voter by calling them a "...lying, dog-faced 'Pony Soldier'...", referencing the 1953 John Wayne western "Hondo", the title "Pony Soldier" was actually a 1952 feature starring Tyrone Power as 'Constable Duncan MacDonald' of the 'North-West Mounted Police':
"...in 1876, the 'North-West Mounted Police' send 'Constable Duncan MacDonald' (Power) and 'Blackfoot' scout 'Natayo Smith' (Thomas Gomez) to negotiate with the 'Cree' to sign 'Treaty 6' with the Brit Crown. Initially hostile, the Cree are influenced by a mirage they mistake for the power of 'Queen Victoria'. In addition to negotiating with the Cree, MacDonald rescues hostages 'Jess Calhoun' (Robert Horton) and 'Emerald Neely' (Penny Edwards), arrests a killer and adopts a Cree son (Anthony Earl Numkena)..."
Cast also includes Cameron Mitchell, Howard Petrie, Stuart Randall, Richard Boone, Frank deKova and Earl Holliman, with ending narration by Michael Rennie ("The Day The Earth Stood Still...
