Stories about the Indigenous exposure from Native voices hold become more visible in the cinema landscape in recent years — it’s long overdue. Finally, vital aspects of Native experience within modern America are being shown through authentic contemplative stories. Movies such as The Body Remembers When the World Broke Open, Lakota Nation vs. the United States, and Wild Indian are crucial. These films highlight the poor treatment Indigenous communities continue to face, while also being intimate and character-driven.
Erica Tremblay&#;s debut drama, Fancy Dance, confronts the ongoing issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women — it’s also a thoughtful narrative about an aunt and her niece&#;s quest to locate her sister in time for a Native Powwow.
Jax (Lily Gladstone) is a butch lesbian living in the Seneca–Cayuga Nation reservation in Oklahoma. Since the disappearance of her sister Tawi, Jax has been the sole guardian of her year-old niece, Roki (Isabel DeRoy-Olson in a celebrity turning debut). At every opportunity, Jax treks across the land, asking if anyone has seen her sister. It is often to the dismay of her sheriff half-brother JJ, who barely offers any help outside of
Last night, Lily Gladstone missing the Oscar for Finest Actress, in what would have been a landmark win for Indigenous people, queer people, and people with good taste in acting.
They would have been the first Indigenous person to win Best Actress in either the head or supporting categories. And they would have been the first out Queer actor to win either lead acting category. And yet plenty of other people have won acting awards for movies centered around Indigenous people and queer people. In reality, in this very category, Gladstone, a queer thespian, nominated for playing a straight character lost to Emma Stone, a unbent actor playing a gay character — a homosexual character whose queerness is the most underwritten aspect of her character.
Discussing firsts can be helpful in addressing the systemic exclusion of institutions like the Academy of Motion Pictures. But, as we&#;ve learned, one nomination or even one award often does not signal tangible switch. And so I&#;m unhappy Gladstone didn&#;t win for the historic reasons, but I&#;m mostly disappointed because she is a uniquely talented performer who deserved the recognition.

Lily Gladstone: queer, pansexual or straight? I might be demisexual
The star of Killers of the Flower Moon talks about her new comedy Wedding Banquet, defining her sexuality and hanging out with Leonardo DiCaprio
Lily Gladstone continues to clarify her sexuality as her queer-inclusive romantic comedy is charming critics and audiences alike.
Speaking to the U.K.’s The Times in an interview published Friday, Gladstone opened up about her role as one half of a Seattle lesbian couple in “The Wedding Banquet,” while calling herself “queer,” “pansexual” and “straight.”
Recently, the “Killers of the Flower Moon” star ― who is of Indigenous heritage ― also has found herself identifying as demisexual.
“I can’t put a label on it,” the “Killers of the Flower Moon” star told the outlet. “One of the large things that tipped me to my queerness is I don’t have the draw to motherhood the way a lot of women have. There was a period of my life when I reflection I might be asexual because I had no sexual attraction to anybody. I had a passionate attraction to everybody but no sexual desire.”
“Then the word ‘demisexual’ came into play, where it’s, enjoy, I don’t feel sexual stirring at all unless I actually care about this person, no matter who they are,” she added, but did not specify if she currently has a partner.
Demisexuality is used to outline people who only undergo sexual attraction after
