Speaker Information:

As a citizen of the Osage Nation through his father Charles Red Corn and with Caddo and Potawatomi lineage through his mother Jeri Red Corn, Yancey Red Corn grew up steeped in the old ways. He learned from his father, novelist and tribal statesman, Charles Red Corn, who authored the novel A PIPE FOR FEBRUARY and who also co-authored the Osage Nation Constitution. He also learned from his mother who was Inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2022, Yancey’s mother, Jeri Red Corn is a national treasure. Single handedly, she revived the lost art of her Caddo Tribe’s pottery making tradition. Through his mother’s Pottawatomi ancestry, Yancey is a cousin to the Olympian, Jim Thorpe.

Martin Scorsese chose Yancey to accompany him on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival in May of 2023 as reward for his principally speaking role in the film KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON which had 10 nominations for the 2024 Academy Awards. In March of 2024 Yancey was invited to also walk the red carpet for the 2024 Academy Awards. Yancey played the war hero, Chief Arthur Bonnicastle, the Chief of the Osage Nation in the 1920s. Martin Scorsese directed Yancey in scenes with the legends Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, Jesse Plemons and the incredibly talented Lily Gladstone. Martin Scorsese announced at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival post premier press conference that he hoped Charles H. Red Corn’s novel A PIPE FOR FEBRUARY would be made into tv or movie production.

Yancey, a SAG-AFTRA member is also collaborating as an executive producer/writer where he works with a team which includes his mother Jeri Red Corn, sister-Dr. Moira Red Corn and his son Miles Thorpe Red Corn, on the adaptation of A PIPE FOR FEBRUARY for audio, stage and television. Specifically for the television series, their team is being mentored by Academy Awarding winning and legendary Director Martin Scorsese.

Talee Redcorn is a member of the Osage Nation and resides in the Pawhuska Indian Village in Oklahoma. Currently Talee is the Project Manager for the Tribal Development department at the Osage Nation. Talee was also elected to the Osage Minerals Council four times and leads investigations in orphan well and enhanced oil recovery projects.
