I had the privilege of speaking at the Peninsula Friends of the Library in Rancho Palos Verdes for their Native American History Month celebration. During my talk, I explored the rich world of Indigenous fashion, discussing how it’s woven into the fabric of mainstream style today. Native fashion isn’t just part of history—it’s alive and well in our everyday clothing. Swipe through my Instagram post for a clip and photos from the event!

I spoke with five Indigenous creatives about the limitations and possibilities of Native representation in Hollywood and why it matters. For generations, Native Americans have been misrepresented or invisible in mainstream media. However, with the rise of shows like Reservation Dogs and Rutherford Falls, as well as the growing influence of social media, Native voices are finally gaining the visibility they deserve. Despite these strides, the cancellation of key Native shows highlights the ongoing challenges in the entertainment industry. I discuss the significance of this representation and how it impacts both Native communities and broader cultural perceptions.
