Watch Part 2 of our interview with award-winning writer, journalist and Oscar-nominated filmmaker Julian Brave NoiseCat as he discusses his debut book, We Survived the Night, and much more. The book weaves together his family’s stories of survival with personal memories, Indigenous oral histories and legends, and on-the-ground reporting that lay bare the resilience of Indigenous peoples across the continent in the face of centuries of colonial genocide. We spoke on Indigenous Peoples’ Day, and NoiseCat also discusses the importance of having “our legacy, our history recognized on our land.” He also responds to Defense Secretary Hegseth’s announcement that 20 Medal of Honor recipients from the 1890 Battle of Wounded Knee massacre will keep their awards. “This is a really tragic moment in United States history,” NoiceCat says. “I think that everybody would recognize that killing 300 men women, and children is not something to be celebrated.”
