The Digital Studio Putting Indigenous Communities at the Center

Indian Country Today | May 20, 2026



Crystal Echo Hawk breaks down how Indigenous House evolved from advocacy org Illuminative into a full-scale digital content studio, why YouTube is now the most powerful platform for Native storytelling, and how new shows like Breaking History, Jaded, and Power and Numbers are finding common ground across communities to push Indigenous values into the mainstream.

    I have a story of corruption at the highest levels. Check out my case. Stems from ICWA violations and Tribal rights. USA v. Gigena, 25-4112 (10th Cir.), pro se first amended opening brief Dkt.72. Bare bones indictment. No facts at all just citing the statute. Fought from MDC LA. Tackled by the Marshals for legal conduct while holding my twin 3-year-old daughters then charged with 18USC 111(a). Convicted with a directed verdict then amended the indictment by sentencing me to 111(b). Fired my public defenders after trial and represented myself to preserve all the errors. Recorded our phone calls and conferences. Jury No.8 went to my sentencing to give me a statement that the jurors wanted to find me not guilty but for the judge's strict instructions. Judge sealed it after I filed his statement. They wouldn't bona fide the officer's status violating brady. The judge recused himself from my related civil case then self assigned to the criminal case and restricted key witnesses in favor and my testimony. Prosecutor use improper statements vouching for himself and their witnesses, inferred guilt from silence, and lead all query. Public defenders refused instructions to not stipulate essentially elements and omitted promised jury instructions of self-defense and excessive force after waiving time to prepare for these promised defenses. Everything is documented by evidence. Even more than this.
