Still, the Indigenous voice has too often been ignored, and 2024 was no exception. The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences bypassed the acclaimed Lily Gladstone, Siksikaitsitapii and Nimíipuu, in the Best Actress category, though Gladstone won awards from the Golden Globes and...

Rob Robertson, a history buff from Eden Prairie, wanted to know more about...

The...
