Historic Win for Indian Country and the Inland Empire: San Bernardino's FNX Wins Emmy for Best DEI Program
By Manny Sandoval
Last week’s Emmy Awards celebrated a significant triumph for Indian Country and the Inland Empire as "Indian Rodeo: Voices of the INFR," produced by San Bernardino's FNX – First Nations Experience, won the Emmy for Best Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Program. This landmark victory marks a
major milestone in the representation of Indigenous stories and the remarkable efforts of Indigenous female athletes in the competitive world of rodeo.
The documentary, directed and produced by Frank Blanquet and Sahar Khadjenoury, who are both TV and Film Producers for FNX, was also nominated alongside their film "Native Hope Champions: Riding for

Blanquet shared the inspiration behind the Emmy-winning project, highlighting the rapid turnaround from receiving a grant from the International Women’s Media Foundation Fund for Indigenous Journalists to covering the rodeo circuit.

In a powerful public press conference on Monday, June 24, Rep. Pete Aguilar marked two years since the landmark Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health decision, which overturned the constitutional right to an abortion guaranteed
by Roe v. Wade. Aguilar highlighted the ongoing assaults on reproductive freedoms and pledged renewed efforts to safeguard these rights.
“Thank you to Planned Parenthood of Orange and San Bernardino Counties for providing healthcare to women and indi-
viduals who need it,” Aguilar said. “We are going to continue to call attention to the extremists and the judges who took away women’s fundamental rights, and we will do what we can to reverse their decision and codify women’s healthcare into exist-

rodeo happening," Blanquet explained. "The half-hour “Indian Rodeo: Voices on the INFR” documentary evolved after a great conversation about Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, Two-Spirit, and Transgender People (MMIWG2T) that didn't make it into the "Native Hope Champions: Riding for the Missing” film."
The documentary was shot over nine days at the South Point Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas during the Indian National Finals Rodeo in October 2022. It was supported by the International Women’s Media Foundation’s Fund for Indigenous Journalists: Reporting on MMIWG2T.
Sahar Khadjenoury, also co-director and producer of both films, described the challenges faced while producing the documentary. "Something we had to overcome was the weariness from some of the female athletes, as we were from an outside entity," Khadjenoury said. "Some athletes were unsure at first, as this was about their murdered and missing indigenous relatives, and we were asking them to do interviews during a highly attended competitive event. Frank and I sharing our clan backgrounds helped drop the tension. We are Indigenous storytellers, telling other Indigenous stories."
Khadjenoury recalled a poignant interview with athlete Shayla Conner (Northern Cheyenne), who shared her family's tragic experience with a missing relative. "Her purpose in creating awareness was to ensure other families don't have to go through what her family went through," she said.
Blanquet emphasized the cinematic approach taken for the documentary. "We knew we needed high frame rate shots to capture the muscle expressions of the bulls and riders in slow motion. We didn't shoot explicitly in documentary style but as a cinematic film," he said. "We wanted to focus on the massiveness of the animals and the command these athletes, like Bailey Bates from the Navajo Nation, have over them."

Since the 2022 decision, the battle over reproductive rights has intensified. Extremists have launched attacks not only on abortion rights but also on access to abortion pills, birth control, and in vitro fertilization (IVF).
The aftermath has led to a surge in patients traveling to California from other states for abortion care, with numbers more than doubling since 2023. It’s important to remind those who are uninformed, but Planned Parenthood services do not just consist of reproductive health, they also offer health services like cancer screenings and health and wellness programs.
Elena Fernandez, Chief Program Officer at St. John’s Community Health, emphasized the importance of maintaining access to comprehensive reproductive healthcare. “Our mission and commitment is to improve community health; therefore, it is our responsibility to protect access to health, including reproductive healthcare and birth control. As a woman and as a human, it is I who should have authority to determine my reproductive health and birth control. At St. John’s, we are committed to addressing all of these barriers.”
St. John’s Community Health, located at 1500 N. Waterman, San Bernardino, continues to play a pivotal role in providing essential healthcare services amid these challenges.
Adding to the local battles, Planned Parenthood of Orange and San Bernardino Counties, Inc. (PPOSBC) has filed a lawsuit against the City of Fontana and its City Council, accusing them of unlawfully obstructing the establishment of a new reproductive health clinic. The
KVCR intern from Cuidad Obregon, Sonora, Mexico, and a recent graduate of the San Bernardino Valley College Film, TV, and Media Program, highlighted the importance of pre-production. "Every project starts with research, and everything we prepare in pre-production makes a successful production and post-production," Lapizco noted. Lapizco is an intern at KVCR Public Media, who assists with FNX projects. Reflecting on the Emmy win, Blanquet expressed the collective excitement and gratitude of the team. "It was all our first nomination, entry, and win.”
Lapizco said, “I remember recording as they announced the winners. It was surreal given my background, and I'm super thankful for these opportunities," she said. "We wanted to celebrate this film and create more awareness, and the reception has been amazing from both Indigenous and nonIndigenous audiences."
Khadjenoury added her excitement about meeting Donna Hoyt, the executive director of INFR, who had been supportive throughout the project. "I was really excited when we had the opportunity to meet Donny Hoyt at last week’s Emmys, it was really cool that she already knew about us, and she gave each of us a red MMIWG2T pin to wear," she said.
The documentary can be viewed on FNX.org and will be available on the FNX app starting November 1st; FNX is exclusively devoted to Native American and World Indigenous content and is owned by KVCR-PBS San Bernardino. The award winning documentary captures the stories of barrel racers, cattle ropers, and a bareback bronc rider, highlighting how Native female athletes are making their mark in the sport and what makes the Indian National Finals Rodeo special to Indian Country.
This Emmy win represents a significant step forward in amplifying Indigenous voices and celebrating their contributions to sports and media, all while raising awareness for MMIWG2T.
lawsuit challenges an “urgency ordinance” adopted on September 5, 2023, which imposes a moratorium on permits for “non-entertainment service-based uses” in specific downtown areas, effectively blocking the clinic’s opening.
Back at the press conference, Jon Dunn, CEO of Planned Parenthood of San Bernardino and Orange Counties, discussed the significance of AB2085 in the context of these ongoing struggles. “It’s gotten through the assembly and is waiting for the Senate to act, and we believe the governor will sign this bill into law,” said Dunn.
AB2085 aims to streamline the approval process for housing developments, including those that facilitate healthcare services, by bypassing certain conditional use permits and environmental review processes, thus potentially increasing access to healthcare facilities.
The Dobbs decision has profoundly impacted the reproductive landscape, reversing nearly half a century of protected rights and resulting in abortion bans in 21 states, affecting over 27 million women of reproductive age. The ongoing efforts by lawmakers, healthcare providers, and advocacy groups underscore the critical need to restore and protect these fundamental rights amidst an increasingly polarized and contentious environment.
The press conference not only highlighted the grim reality facing millions of women but also served as a rallying call for continued action and solidarity in the fight for reproductive justice.

Un Corrido a la Tierra: The Challenges Faced by a Mexican-Origin Family Achieving the American Dream
By Jorge Luis Macías, community writer
Juan Carrillo Domínguez is a firstgeneration American citizen who has witnessed firsthand the hardships of living in a family with mixed immigration status: suffering, discrimination, and a long list of barriers to achieving the so-called “American Dream.”
Born in Long Beach, Juan, 27, is the son of Mexican parents who emigrated decades ago from a town called La Encarnación, Zacatecas.
For him, the issue of immigration is a priority in his social struggle.
“This issue has caused trauma to many families,” he says. “Thousands have also died in their attempt to reach the United States.”
For Juan, the film project “Un Corrido a la Tierra” is a personal matter. He ex-
Community News
Ipresses it with humility. That’s how his parents taught him, and his grandparents taught them.
His story and experience are not unique. That’s why he has set out to become a university professor. He would like to influence the thinking of others, especially because many young people don’t give much importance to the issue of immigration.
“Migrants’ stories are important and need to be told,” he says. Written or recorded, these anecdotes need to reach the children of immigrants born in the United States who forget about the immigration issue, a topic that Juan, the young artist’s grandfather, did not speak about regarding how traumatic and difficult it was to survive in the United States.
Juan Carrillo Domínguez’s grandfather was a “bracero” in 192, in Nogales, Arizona, but died after working in the agricultural fields picking mushrooms in the state of Oregon (1991). There he gave
the best years of his youth and his entire life. Therefore, Un Corrido a La Tierra is a tribute to those who preceded him in the quest for the American Dream.
The so-called “braceros” were millions of Mexicans whose cheap labor was exploited in the United States from 1942 to 1964, under an agreement signed with the Mexican government.
But, thanks to The Space/El Espacio, an artistic magazine that inspires understanding of the most urgent issues in the Inland Empire, Juan Carrillo Domínguez, James M. Dailey, and directors Tamara Cedré and Adrian Metoyer III influence fostering civic engagement around environmental issues, global warming, labor, social justice, and racism.
In fact, “Un Corrido a La Tierra” intends to tell the example of him and his father, Octavio Carrillo. Both work in warehouses, where they exhaust their physical strength in exchange for little money.
The $100,000 grant awarded by Creative Corps Inland SoCal will allow them to present a new perception and perspective to analyze the exploitation of immigrant labor.
“We intend to create new conversations about the food chain issue and the work of thousands of people in warehouses that come from the ports of San Pedro and Los Angeles,” said Carrillo.
He and the other project participants hope to influence the political decisions made in the Inland Empire regarding the proliferation of rapid delivery warehouses.
“Un Corrido de la Tierra” will be the story of a family of three generations of men of Mexican origin who also played or play music, or sang and sing corridos to earn their “little money” after crossing a border into a country that was once Mexican land.
