I am here because of what I can do,” says Madison Hammond, a defender and midfielder for Los Angeles’ Angel City FC. “I am good enough to leave more of an imprint than just being the first Native American to play in the NWSL.”
The 25-year-old, who is Navajo, San Felipe Pueblo and Black, has already broken barriers for Native athletes everywhere. But achieving her potential on the field, maximizing her impact off of it and becoming the truest version of herself is an ongoing journey.
In “Katishtya Girl,” a mini documentary directed by Kyle Bell (Thlopthlocco Creek Tribal Town) and produced by IllumiNative and Reno Productions, viewers follow Madison from the bright lights of Los Angeles back to her “capital “H” Home,” Katishtya, also known as the San Felipe Pueblo outside of Albuquerque, NM.
The film is about sports and so much more: mental health, identity, family and overcoming self-doubt. From her grandmother, her mother and her sister, to Diné golfer (and Madison’s uncle) Notah Begay III, you’ll meet the tight-knit community that has shaped who Madison is, and will guide her toward who she’s meant to become.
