Photo of a late-19th-century Canadian Blackfoot brave - one of the prime examples of a northern Plains Indian ready for the hunt or for battle. All studded out with his brass-tacked 1873 Wi******er carbine and belt full of cartridges, he’s also equipped with a heavily tacked knife scabbard, riding quirt, a necklace and bracelet, and a unique breastplate, made up of northwest trade gun brass serpentine sideplates. Even his pony’s U.S. Cavalry headstall has had brass tacks added for a more personal look.

"To celebrate Father’s Day, we talked with some famous father-daughter duos about life, lessons, and love.
David Midthunder is an enrolled tribal member at the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Indian Reservation in Montana. For the last 15 years he has appeared in a myriad of films as compelling Indigenous characters, but he’s perhaps best known for his leading role as Famous Shoes in the Lonesome Dove prequel Comanche Moon. And in 2022, he had guest-starring spots in two episodes of 1883 as the Comanche character Two Feathers, one of which saw him riding with Martin Sensmeier and coming to the aid of Shea, James, Elsa, and Thomas during a shootout with cattle thieves.
David appeared opposite his good friend Wes Studi in the period western Hostiles as the villain Buffalo Man. “We level justice against Buffalo Man by hanging him by the neck in a tree towards the end of our trek,” Studi says. “David is my friend, and it was great to take a selfie and mount it next to what was supposed to be his lifeless body.""
David’s daughter Amber Midthunder, also an enrolled tribal member at the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Indian Reservation, has been full speed aboard the acting train for the last five years. Still in her early 20s, Amber is currently starring as Rosa Ortecho in The CW’s Roswell, New Mexico, which films in her hometown of Santa Fe. She recently starred opposite Liam Neeson in the film thriller The Ice Road and just completed a star-making role in Dan Trachtenberg’s prequel to the Predator series, Prey, scheduled to air on Hulu this summer.
Both David and Amber appeared in the contemporary western series Longmire as
David Ridges and Lilly Stillwater.

Congratulations to Lily Gladstone on her Golden Globe win for Best Actress in a motion picture!
Seeing an Indigenous woman deliver a speech on such a massive stage in the traditional Blackfeet language was such a moving movement for us all.
This is a HUGE step forward for Indigenous visibility in media and reminds us of the importance of Indigenous representation in the arts.
Gladstone began her speech in the Blackfeet language and translated to English: “I love everyone in this room right now! Thank you. I don't have words. I just spoke a bit of Blackfeet language, a beautiful community, nation that raised me. They encouraged me to keep going, keep doing this. I'm here with my mom, who even though she's not Blackefeet worked tirelessly to get our language into our classroom, so I had a Blackfeet language teacher growing up."
“This is an historic one. It doesn't belong to just me. I'm holding it right now. I'm holding it with all of my beautiful sisters, and the film at this table over here, my mother, standing on all of your shoulders. Thank you."
-Lily Gladstone, 2024 Golden Globes Speech
Your accomplishment stands as a shining example for Indigenous youth. We are immensely proud of you!�

The Appaloosa is a horse breed associated historically with the Nez Perce (Niimipu) Tribe. The name may originate from “a Palouse,” which referred to the region where the horses were bred. It is likely that these horses originally came from a variety of Spanish horses—so-called spotted horses—that were traded into the Northwest by the mid to late eighteenth century. The horses were then bred by the Nez Perce.
The Appaloosa is also known as the Nez Perce Horse. The first documented reports of horses in Oregon are in the journals of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, who noted spotted horses similar to the Appaloosa among the Nez Perce Tribe.
The Nez Perce valued the Appaloosa for its intelligent temperament, sure-footedness, endurance, and speed. They required their horses to negotiate the treacherous trails from their winter quarters in the Wallowa Valley of eastern Oregon through the Rocky Mountains to the summer encampments on the Plains. The horses were fast enough to catch a bison and paso fino—that is, smooth-gaited—enough to allow a hunter to fire with accuracy from a full gallop.
The original Nez Perce Appaloosa nearly died out after the Nez Perce War in 1876, when the U.S. military confiscated the Tribe’s herds. A few of the breed survived into the twentieth century, however, and in the 1930s horsemen in eastern Oregon worked to revive it. As a modern horse breed, the Appaloosa is distinctive for its mottled skin, visible sclera (the white outer layer of the eye), and vertical-striped hooves.
The Appaloosa is one of the most distinctive and valued American horse breeds in the world. The Nez Perce Tribe and other horse ranchers in the region are continuing to develop the desirable traits that were bred into the original breed in the nineteenth century.
