Lily Gladstone credits Montana childhood, UM education, for acting success
MISSOULA — For Montanans, the Oscars will hit a little closer to home this year.
Lily Gladstone is the first Native American woman to be nominated for an Oscar. She is a Browning native, a member of the Blackfeet Tribe and a University of Montana Alumni.
She attributes much of her success to her time in Montana.
Gladstone grew up in Browning on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation until she was about 11 years old. She has strong memories of the Missoula Children’s Theater Little Red Truck coming through her community.
