Bringing our historical figures to life doesn’t just require talent, it requires truth.🗣️

Portraying historical Native American figures with accuracy and respect is essential to how our stories are remembered.

Watch as Cherokee Actress Cheyenne Gagner explains.

Yesterday, we welcomed visitors from @nyuniversity to see the power of Native American storytelling. 🎥 🎬

Cherokee Film was proud to partner with NYU Tulsa for the Truth, Lens, Power symposium and this screening of Native-made short films.

How do we adapt as time moves on and the world around us changes? This is the question “I Am Home” asks. Writer and director Kymon Greyhorse (Tongan/Diné) taps into his heritage to create this moving piece of cinema.

"Never in my life have I even dreamed to get anything like that for my work. People on TV get those things, but not Cherokees."

Take a moment to recognize Anna Sixkiller and Sammy Still for helping carry our language and culture forward in innovative ways. 🎬🏆

#WesStudi’s advice? There is always an opportunity to step into storytelling on your terms. But, the goal should be bigger than any one person.

Participating in this industry helps shape how our communities are seen, and most importantly, how the next generation see themselves.

Since the earliest days of Hollywood, our stories have been told by outsiders.

#VisualSovereignty addresses these narratives by giving #NativeAmericans agency over our own images and stories to address past misrepresentation and strengthen cultural understanding.
