Native American narratives with Maya Rose Dittloff
In this episode, we speak with Maya Rose Dittloff, a Blackfeet, Mandan, and Hidatsa writer, director, and activist. We discuss the the essential role of narrative sovereignty in narrative change, and the growing world of Indigenous cinema as a response to that need. We’ll try to better understand how to identify and deconstruct these pervasive dominant narratives, the new narratives movement leaders like Maya are introducing, and how Hollywood has played a role in perpetuating and challenging these narratives. As always, you can find the resources we mention in this episode as well as more information and the transcript at The Other Story substack.
