Lily Gladstone on why it\u2019s best that #KillersOfTheFlowerMoon<\/a> didn\u2019t focus on a criminal investigation: \u201cHow unfortunate it would’ve been for audiences to walk away under the impression that the FBI are the saviors of Native women.\u201d https:\/\/t.co\/GEfGKNGZO6<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/Tt14fy2Qf4<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cTo understand the scope of the work that these women do and to understand the irony and how it ties to this man onstage playing an FBI agent \u2014 had he done that, how unfortunate it would\u2019ve been for audiences to walk away under the impression that the FBI are the saviors of Native women. We know that is not the truth,\u201d Gladstone said. \u201cTribal governments in this nation and treaties with tribal people are the whole reason that the United States even exists. You need to enter into treaty with other nations to get your own validity. And yet these treaties are not honored.\u201d<\/p>\n

[<\/span><\/svg>The FBI Does not help<\/a><\/b>]<\/span><\/span>\u201cOver the course of colonization, the last several hundred years, our inherent sovereignty as tribal nations has been stripped away further and further and further \u2014 to the point that if you\u2019re not enrolled in that tribe, on that reservation, and you commit a violent crime against a Native person, nobody can prosecute you except for the FBI. States don\u2019t have jurisdiction on tribal land. Tribes don\u2019t have jurisdiction. It\u2019s only the federal government,\u201d Gladstone continued. \u201cThe only people who have any authority to do anything do nothing. And the people who are left to do anything about it are these women here.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Lily’s insight was terribly missed during the film’s promotional circuit. The trades have published a couple articles that framed her and Osage language consultant Christopher Cote’s words suspiciously to fuel dishonest discourse, but her knowledge really shines above the game. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
