The IndieWire Honors ceremony, scheduled for June 5, 2025, will highlight outstanding achievements in television. This year's focus is on stories like that of Teonna Rainwater from the series '1923', portraying the grim realities faced by Indigenous people in boarding schools. Star Aminah Nieves praises creator Taylor Sheridan for tackling such difficult themes, showcasing a crucial historical narrative that is often absent from mainstream media. Through new interviews and leading up to the event, IndieWire aims to celebrate these impactful stories and the talent behind them.
My parents would have us go out and look at the stars every night and make a wish. And that was always my wish: I just want to be on stage and want to be a performer.
I do give accolades to Taylor for writing this, because it is difficult...to have the grit to be able to stay true to what story you want to tell and to fight for that, that's commendable.
