Sterlin Harjo (Muskogee/Seminole) and Ryan Redcorn (Osage), join All My Relations for a live podcast to discuss how Native representation in Hollywood can be done right (or Rez-dogged). 

The conversation is packed with giggles, the importance of sharing opportunities with your community,  the power of creating all Native spaces in entertainment and the journey from the 1491s to now.

The tone of this episode is slightly different than some of our more narrative episodes, mostly because you get to hear Matika and Adrienne try to hold it together and not bust up into laughter every two seconds! But also because this series of episodes are from our live recordings at Santa Monica College. The event was part of Matika’s year-long artist-in-residency Santa Monica College Barrett Gallery, curated by Emily Silver and developed by an incredible team of students. We’re so grateful for all the time and effort that went into making these live recordings happen!

Huge thank yous to Santa Monica College and everyone there who made this possible, thank you to the AMR team: Jonathan Stein, Max Levin, Teo Shantz, Lindsey Hightower,  Darrien Camarillo and Charlie Stavish. Major shout out to KP of Blackbelt Eaglescout for sharing live music at this event, to Ciara Sana for the episode artwork, and to the 1491s for letting us use the clip from their original sketch “New Moon: Wolfpack Audition”.
