Lily Gladstone, D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, Kali Reis: First Emmy-Nominated Indigenous Actors in 17 Years

www.thewrap.com: Long overdue recognition for indigenous actors finally came on Wednesday, when Lily Gladstone, D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai and Kali Reis received Emmy nominations. Together, Gladstone, Woon-A-Tai and Reis are the first indigenous actors in 17 years to receive an acting nomination from the Television Academy after the late actor August Schellenberg did it for his supporting role in 2007 for the HBO TV movie, “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee.”
