1
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Andy and Samantha and welcome to Stephane

2
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: Never Told your production of iHeartRadio. Oh and we as

3
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:25,920
Speaker 1: we have rounded our wonderful month long celebration of Halloween

4
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: and all things spooky, we are now coming into the

5
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: month of Devena. I guess we've been in the month

6
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: of November for about a week now, but you know,

7
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: I'm a little behind. That's pretty usual. And we here

8
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: in the US are entering into Native American Heritage Month

9
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 1: and we wanted to celebrate that because you know, we're

10
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: really big about talking about Indigenous voices and especially Indigenous

11
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 1: women who oftentimes are not seen or have been erased

12
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: or have been ignored, and we don't like that. We

13
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: will not allow that, and therefore we will celebrate these

14
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: amazing women. And we are starting with Sarah Ego Heart,

15
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:05,199
Speaker 1: who is a part of Emmy legacy. Now I think

16
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember, Annie, Yes, have you ever won

17
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: an Emmy? I've won my own version. Yeah, for it

18
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: was for my marvelous uh acting in what we call

19
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: shower alone time seeds with any You never did that

20
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: in the shower You won like an award and it

21
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: was your shampoo bottle. No. See, this is where I

22
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: think I'm abnormal because I did not have the childhood imagination.

23
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: I'm doing things like that and I think, like, normally

24
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: would I've never had that. But I love this and

25
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: I kind of want to re enactment of one of them.

26
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: I want to hear the thank you speech. Would I

27
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: be a part of practiced it? Oh? Oh yeah, Okay, okay.

28
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: Because I know you're eventually gonna win an Emmy. I

29
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: know it's going to happen in that. But for today,

30
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about Sarah eagle Heart, who did

31
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: actually win an Emmy, who was raised in the Oglala

32
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: Lakota tribe on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota,

33
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: and if her name again sounds familiar, there are may

34
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: be a few reasons for that, including the fact she

35
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: was one of the organizers for the Women's March a

36
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: few years ago, so it was a really big key

37
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: proponent into trying to make the Women's March a little

38
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: more diverse and inclusive, as well as the fact that, yeah,

39
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: she won an Emmy for Crow the Legend, which also

40
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: featured John Legend, who was a voice Oprah Winfrey and constance. Woo.

41
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: It's like an eighteen minute animation. I really want to watch.

42
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: I don't know where it's available, but I really want

43
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: to watch it because apparently it's beautifully done. Again, there's

44
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: some phenomenal actors here as well as Eagle Heart, who

45
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: plays the moon apparently. But yes, so if you have

46
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: sing it, please let us know because I want to.

47
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: I want to know where I can stream it. I

48
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: guess I could just buy it. Yeah. Yeah, and if

49
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: we do find it, we were talking about doing my

50
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: name any on it, discussing it. Yeah, I definitely want

51
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: to watch it. Eagle Heart has been an activist for

52
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: quite some time, including protesting her neighboring school for their

53
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: appropriative homecoming ceremony in which they quote recreated a ceremony

54
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: with medicine men, warrior princess and a big chief. And yes,

55
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: it was done by white students most of the time, right.

56
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: Apparently it was like a neighboring schools to her reservation

57
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: and they're like, what is happening? Wait? And this was

58
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: before social media, which was a little it's a little

59
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: easier to hold people accountable. But she and her friends

60
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: and her sister were able to go and be like, hey, y'all,

61
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: you'll need to quit um and as it was able

62
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: to put a stop to it. So that's incredible scene.

63
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: And I can't imagine being a teenager to actually do that,

64
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: especially not at my own school. That's amazing. But yeah,

65
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: but just being able to be an activist at teenage

66
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: years as phenomenal. Um And Yeah, she continued in her

67
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: fight to advocate for the indigenous community. She's been working

68
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: internationally to seek social and environmental justice. Also she's done

69
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: it within her own church and community. As we talked about,

70
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: she actually worked within the Episcopalian Church to become the

71
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: first major denomination to denounce the doctrine of Discovery, which,

72
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: if you don't know, was a doctrine that advocated for

73
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: the quote superiority of people's or individuals on the basis

74
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: of national origin or race or racial, religious, ethnic, or

75
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 1: cultural differences. And this actually legitimized the colonization of indigenous

76
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: people around the world and unsurprisingly also dehumanized and exploited

77
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: the indigenous people. Yeah, also still exists today and can

78
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: be seen in different doctrines, even in court cases in

79
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: the US, which makes me nauseous. I hate that Yeah. Absolutely.

80
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: She has continued her advocacy as a social justice storyteller,

81
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: sharing her knowledge of her community, culture and traditions to

82
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: educate and bring positive change, and she was able to

83
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: do so with her involvement in the short film Crow

84
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: the Legend. She says about the film, the power behind

85
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: the piece is an authentic cultural and storytelling process conducted

86
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,799
Speaker 1: with integrity. Native perspectives were included from the very beginning,

87
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: and we were invited to tell our own stories rather

88
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: than having others tell them for us. The themes of

89
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 1: Crow the Legend sacrifice, inclusivity, and community. Eagle Heart has

90
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: had many things on her plate, including being co founder

91
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: of the Indigenous Women Rise, which was formed in two

92
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 1: seventeen as part of the Women's March on Washington. As

93
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: we talked about, and she continues to work to advocate

94
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: for the advancement of Indigenous people's rights and to raise

95
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: awareness for issues and needs within the indigenous community. She

96
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: recently served as the CEO of Native Americans in Philanthropy,

97
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 1: which quote promotes equitable and effective philanthropy in Native communities

98
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: and according to their side, if you want to go

99
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: visit it says our vision is for all Native communities

100
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: to be restored to full health and sustainability through sponsibility.

101
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 1: And of course she has been awarded for her tire

102
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: list work, and not just with an Emmy, but it

103
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: was also awarded with the American Express Engine Leadership Award

104
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: at the National Center for American Indian Enterprise Developments TOP

105
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: forty under forty. She's currently working on a book with

106
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: her twin sister on healing, leadership and advocacy that is

107
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,679
Speaker 1: slated to be published in So excited about that. Yeah,

108
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: So if you want to go see what all she's doing,

109
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: she is not slowed down at all and has going

110
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: on to speak at other things that she is an actress,

111
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: I believe, and I'm sure we'll be see our featured

112
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,840

Speaker 1: at the forefront. She's a consultant for some of the

114
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: production companies in Hollywood in the film industry. So I'll

115
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: hope they do listen, yes, and then continue to push

116
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,719
