March 11, 2024 ICT Newscast
Indian Country Today’s daily newscast
On Monday’s ICT Newscast, Lily Gladstone came shy of winning an Oscar award for her role in ‘Killers of the Flower Moon.’ ICT’s reporting team was on the red carpet and inside the theater in Los Angeles. It’s Women’s History Month. Meet a chef from Oklahoma.
On Sunday, the Oscar for Best Actress went to Emma Stone in “Poor Things.” If Lily Gladstone won, she would have been the first Native American person to ever win in that category.
Osage citizen Scott George performed last night and was nominated for Best Original Song for “Wahzhazhe (A Song For My People).” It went to Billie Eilish for the summer box office hit “What was I Made For” in “Barbie.” A win for George would have marked the first time an Osage person won an Oscar.
Prior to the award ceremony, Osage officials had already declared a victory for “Killers of the Flower Moon,” saying the tribe won, because the world has been introduced to the Osage.
While actress Lily Gladstone didn’t take any trophies home at the 2024 Academy Awards, the Osage Nation and Indigenous people everywhere declared themselves winners last night. ICT’s Paris Wise was on the red carpet and inside Dolby Theater last night in Los Angeles for the event.
To celebrate the women who have made a difference in our lives and the lives of their native nation, here’s an encore presentation of an interview from our archives. In Oklahoma, a new museum features the tribes of the area. ICT’s Shirley Sneve was there to see what’s cooking with Chef Loretta Barrett Oden at 39 Restaurant.
Revitalizing language is a priority for many tribes across Turtle Island. Language is what ties them to their sense of place and identity. We head to the Seneca Nation in New York, where Stewart Huntington caught up with Ja:no’s Bowen who is working to restore the Seneca language. Lily Gladstone gives us a moment of Blackfeet wisdom.

Would this be considered decolonization by trying to be accepted as an Oscar equal?

I love the visibility Indigenous creators are finally getting. The way Lily extends their platform to uplift designers, actors, writers, and other creatives is generous and so exciting. The arts thrive when more unique voices get added and Indigenous voices are too long overlooked. Much respect ✨

well i seen the Oscars and she should have as the first Indigenious Red Nation Woman the Oscar and not for Oppenheimer and i feel Oppenheimer is boring – much Talking and almost nothing about how it cames to the Bomb like the boring Tesla Movie

I was surprised too until I went and watched Poor Things. That role was a technical feat, and Emma bodied it.

That's so beautiful you had Lily do the language segment. Yay! This one I'll learn faster than the others.

Lily Gladstone is an Inspiration for Indigenous Women.
I admire her for all good reasons.
She is a wonderful Creative Artist who won the Hearts of Countless People.
She awakened the sleepy heads especially those who never heard of the Osage Tribe, and the violent challenges they had endured by the GREED!
Indigenous People are Timeless and Languge is the essential true meaning of Indigenous Recognition. Indigenous Language is a Life force to Live by and different to be Identified Uniquely attaches the History of the people Indigenous Country, Indigenous Ancestors Homeland Culture and Traditions.
The Indigenous People should be a Priority FLORISH across America before any other Culture, Language or Tradition that came from across the Ocean Seas called Europe, Asia and Eastern, " hmmm, am I forgetting any other?"
Good Day and Stay Safe…
A'ho!

Yes, a big disappointment. Lily Gladstone is amazing. Killers of the Flower Moon cast and all was quietly (silenced loudly) brushed aside. It does not in any way change the power to the film. I was sad today but also glad I witnessed her journey .
