Madonna Thunder Hawk
Madonna Thunder Hawk, an Oohenumpa Lakota woman, is a veteran of every modern Native occupation from Wounded Knee in 1973 to Standing Rock in 2016. After a lifetime of pushing for Native civil rights and sovereignty, her message to youth is simple: Build community. Dr. Beth Castle, filmmaker and historian, leads the conversation with the “original gangsta granny.”
