Summary

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”.

0:00.0	Hello, relatives, Adrienne here. Welcome back to another episode of All My Relations. We're so happy you're here.
0:07.5	And today I'm very excited because we get to start a series of something that's a little bit different for us.
0:13.1	We have some live episodes to share with you. And so, Matika, do you want to share with us how all of this came about?
0:20.2	Hi, relatives. Matika here. I'm really happy to be here with you and thanks for joining us on another episode.
0:26.5	So for this episode and the next few, we are going to be sharing work from Santa Monica College.
0:34.0	The live recordings came about because I did this year-long artist in residency at the college,
0:40.0	led by the one and only Emily Silver, which resulted in this massive 72-piece exhibition at the gallery on campus, called the Barrett Gallery.
0:50.4	And it'll actually be up until June if you want to see it. And it's this really special exhibition because
0:58.1	the entire project was developed by students. We had a cohort of amazing, dedicated, passionate students who were the first to read my manuscript.
1:07.9	And then from that, they selected photos, they printed them, they built walls, they curated a show.
1:14.7	And then together we put together this programming, which included an Indigenous Film Festival.
1:20.0	So during the two days of the film festival, we did live podcasting for the students to attend.
1:24.3	And this episode was made on campus during that time. And so, I mean, the students did so much Adrian.
1:31.6	They even worked on building this set for this podcast, you know, like with a hammer and a nail and everything.
1:39.2	So I really couldn't be more proud of the students. And I'm thrilled to be sharing this content with you.
1:45.5	When I started dreaming at all up, I called Sterling, who's on this episode. And he helped me to curate the film festival and also agreed to come on the pod.
1:52.8	And he really is just like the best. So I hope that all of you guys enjoy the laughter and the banter with Ryan Redcorn.
2:01.2	You know, it is a little different than our more narrative style of podcasting, but I just love it all the same.
2:08.4	Yeah, the whole event was so amazing. And truly the students worked so hard to pull this together.
2:14.1	And it was so fun to talk with Ryan and Sterling. So for this conversation, we're talking with the one and only Sterling Harjo.
2:23.0	Filmmaker and showrunner for the hit FX show reservation dogs as well as Ryan Redcorn, filmmaker,
2:28.6	photographer and writer for reservation dogs.
