Playwright Larissa FastHorse’s latest production, “Fake It Until You Make It,” is now showing at Arena Stage in Washington, D.C. The farce, which premiered in California, satirizes the nonprofit world through the rivalry of two leaders—one Indigenous, one not—highlighting racial and political disparities in funding and representation. FastHorse, a Sicangu Lakota Nation citizen, explores the themes of identity, sovereignty and Two-Spirit visibility.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we exist to illuminate tribal government for everyone who cares about transparency in Native issues. Our work bridges the gap left by tribal-controlled media and non-Native, extractive journalism, providing the insights necessary for truly informed decision-making and a better quality of life. Because the consequences of restricted press freedom affect our communities every day, our trauma-informed reporting is rooted in a deep, firsthand expertise.
