Nominations for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences are all under consideration by voters right now, and WHAT!!?? Several Native films have qualified to be considered!

Tiger is a live-action documentary short about Dana Tiger and her family of artists, who changed the landscape of North American Indigenous art. Their t-shirts have been seen most recently in Reservation Dogs and The Lowdown (and are available online).

A family triumphant and devastated, the Tiger story is deftly told by documentarian Loren Waters, and it's now available to stream on FNX and Criterion.

Richard is a multi-hyphenate: artist, actor, activist, photographer. And he took time to sit down with our hosts to discuss his career, his experience on the set of American Indian Graffiti, and a host of other topics.

Quyana to Oklahoma Film Exchange for hosting our retrospective!

In a run-up to our live interview with Richard Ray Whitman, we present...American Indian Graffiti: This Thing Life.

A deep dive into the legendary feature by Steven Paul Judd *Dark Winds) and tvli jacob (American Experience). Twenty two years ago, shot in Norman, OK, featuring Kimberley Guerrero (Welcome to Derry) and Yvonne Russo (Vow of Silence: The Assassination of Anna Mae Aquash), this film kicked off a wave of New Native Cinema, focusing on the modern experience of Indigenous folks in the US.

Friend of the pod Adam Piron curated a collection of Native Narratives for this month on the Criterion Collection streaming service, so we celebrate by talking about the list, and making our additions to it!
