Lily Gladstone Makes History as First Indigenous Woman to Win at Golden Globes

In a groundbreaking moment at the Golden Globe Awards on January 7, Lily Gladstone etched her name in history as the first indigenous woman to win the coveted accolade. Her spectacular achievement came in the category of Best Female Actor in a Dramatic Motion Picture for her role as Mollie Burkhart in “Killers of the Flower Moon,” sharing the screen with Hollywood heavyweights Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro.

Lily Gladstone, a proud member of the Blackfeet Tribe, stood on the Golden Globes stage with gratitude radiating from her as she accepted the award. The actress recognized the historical significance of the moment, emphasizing that the achievement was a collective one, extending beyond her to include her “beautiful sisters” and the entire Blackfeet community.

In a moving speech, Gladstone spoke in the Blackfeet language, paying tribute to her roots and the community that nurtured and encouraged her throughout her journey in the entertainment industry. She reflected on the challenges faced by native actors in the past, revealing the industry’s previous practice of having them speak lines in English, later manipulated in post-production to simulate native languages on screen.

The 37-year-old actress, who modestly admitted to speaking “a little bit” of her native language, dedicated her historic win to the children who can now see themselves represented in stories told by their own community. She expressed gratitude for the support of tremendous allies and the trust placed in indigenous storytellers to authentically share their narratives.

This milestone victory not only marks Lily Gladstone’s inaugural Golden Globe nomination but also establishes her as the first indigenous actress to claim the prestigious award. The achievement adds a new chapter to her burgeoning career and further propels the conversation around diversity and representation in the entertainment industry.

Lily Gladstone’s historic win serves as a beacon of inspiration for indigenous talents in the film industry. As she stands at the forefront of change, her triumph at the Golden Globes underscores the importance of recognizing and celebrating diverse voices in storytelling. The impact of this moment resonates far beyond the stage, shaping a narrative of inclusion and empowerment for future generations.
