one of the things i've been frustrated with when running this blog is the lack of Native actors among all the hotties I showcase. so I was extra delighted to see this article in the New York Times, covering the career of stage actress Go-won-go Mohawk! while she didn't apparently work in films, she was an accomplished actress and playwright in the late 1800s who created her own plays where she dressed in drag and told stories of Native heroism. A very cool read, and an interesting lady to know about.

Here's a gift article on her that shouldn't be behind a paywall!

I'm going to gatekeep some podcasters and say that if you think Strange Fruit sung by Billie Holiday is "an old spiritual" then I don't think you are the right person to be giving commentary on Tales from the Hood.
