In this episode, we venture to Hollywood to meet trailblazer Tantoo Cardinal, who has broken barriers for Native actors. She shares how her ancestors inspired her rise to prominence in blockbuster films and her pride in opening doors for future Native talent despite facing typecasting challenges.
Next, we meet Darrell Redleaf, a skilled makeup artist and hairdresser for A-list stars like Demi Moore and Jodie Foster. From humble beginnings on the reservation, Darrell has become a sought-after artist in the industry.
Our journey concludes with a visit to the Tongva matriarchs in Topanga Canyon. This gathering of artists, authors, filmmakers, and storytellers forms an Artist Collective that represents the modern indigenous community of Los Angeles.
