Lily Gladstone created history by becoming the first indigenous woman to secure a Best Actress Golden Globe for her outstanding performance in "Killers of the Flower Moon."

Following a standing ovation, Gladstone commenced her speech with heartfelt words in the Blackfeet language, expressing gratitude to the "beautiful community and nation" that nurtured her. She thanked her mother, who, despite not being Blackfeet, tirelessly worked to introduce their language into classrooms, ensuring Gladstone had a Blackfeet language teacher during her upbringing.

Gladstone acknowledged the significance of her triumph, shedding light on Hollywood's historical shortcomings in accurately depicting and providing genuine representation for indigenous communities. She expressed gratitude for the opportunity to speak even a bit of her language on stage, noting the past practice where Native actors would speak lines in English, only for sound mixers to reverse them to simulate Native languages on camera.

"This is a historic win, it doesn’t belong to just me, I’m holding it right now — I’m holding it with all of my beautiful sisters in the film, and my mother… I’m standing on all of your shoulders.”

Gladstone concluded her speech by dedicating her win to "every little res kid, every little urban kid, every little Native kid out there who dreams of seeing themselves represented and our stories told by us, in our own words, with incredible allies and unwavering trust."
