 As a kid, I didn't see native men or native women on the big screen too often, especially not in an athletic sense, like I was watching the NFL, the NBA, never seen any native superstar athletes. So I got curious and started doing some research and found out about Jim Thorpe in my school library and that inspired me hearing about him being an Olympic athlete and everything. Even though he's been gone at this point for a long time, I needed somebody to look up to who was native and that was important for me as a kid.
