The Red Gaze

The Red Gaze

The Red Gaze is a Native-based discussion of popular movies made about Indian people. Regular podcast hosts Dr. Cheryl Kary, Moriah Crow Eagle, and Nils “Ben” Landin, are joined by occasional guest hosts to critique the white gaze used in the making of movies about Indian people and enjoy what films get right about Native people. Cheryl Kary, Ph.D., is the Executive Director of the Sacred Pipe Resource Center, host of The Red Gaze. She is Yanktonai Dakota and enrolled in the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. She is a dedicated introvert, enjoying reading and movies and peopling in moderation. Moriah Crow Eagle is a member of the Piikani Nation in Southern Alberta, Canada. Her favorite films are The Godfather, Reservoir Dogs, and Dance Me Outside. “We love films because they make us feel something, they allow us to escape and dream.” Follow her on @Momeiah02 on Twitter. Nils Landin is a Dakota/Tlingit from the Standing Rock Nation. He is a proud father of three beautiful children (Sophie, Elijah, and Nelenah). When not busy with work, he enjoys pow-wows, gambling, and FOOD.
