Lily Gladstone speaks Blackfeet language amid historic Golden Globe win for 'Killers of the Flower Moon'
Lily Gladstone won the Golden Globes for best actress in a drama Sunday night, eliciting cheers from the Hollywood community in attendance at the awards show and from fans online.
Gladstone, an Indigenous actor who was born and raised on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in Montana, has won several other awards for her role as Mollie Burkhart in "Killers of the Flower Moon."
Her win in the category makes Gladstone the first Indigenous person to win the award.
"This is for every little (reservation) kid, every little urban kid, every little Native kid out there who has a dream, who is seeing themselves represented and our stories told by ourselves, in our own words with tremendous allies and tremendous trust," she said during her acceptance speech.
