"The villains are fairly obvious in “Flower Moon,” but Scorsese asks audiences to take a wider look at systemic racism, historical injustice and the corruptive influence of power and money, intriguingly tying together our past and present." ~ Brian Truitt,
"Gladstone, in the rare Scorsese film that gives center stage to a female character, is the emotional core here, and it's her face that stays etched in our memory."

The Native American community and film world pause to honor the life of David Bald Eagle, who passed away at the age of 97. Known for his memorable role in the Academy Award-winning film Dances with Wolves, Bald Eagle brought strength, dignity, and authenticity to the portrayal of Lakota culture on screen. His presence helped audiences connect with Indigenous stories told with respect and truth. 🪶🎬
Bald Eagle’s life was deeply connected to history. He was the grandson of White Bull, a respected Lakota leader who fought alongside Sitting Bull during the historic Battle of the Little Bighorn. That powerful lineage tied him directly to a defining chapter of Native history, and later in life he carried those stories forward through film and storytelling. 🌄🪶
Throughout his career, Bald Eagle appeared in more than 40 film and television productions, portraying Indigenous characters with pride and authenticity. Beyond the screen, he was remembered as a storyteller, a cultural voice, and a respected elder within his community. His long life helped carry Native history into modern storytelling, leaving a legacy of honor, wisdom, and cultural strength for future generations. 🌟
