Rebecca Nagle is an American activist, writer and public speaker.[1][2] She is a citizen of the Cherokee Nation.[3][4] Nagle is one of the founders of FORCE: Upsetting Rape Culture,[5][6] an organization led by artists and activists who attempt to promote a culture of consent.[7] Nagle was also a coordinator of the event "PINK Loves CONSENT."[8][9][10]

Career[]

In 2012, Rebecca Nagle and Hannah Brancato created a website called "Pink Loves Consent" which coincided with the Victoria Secret fashion show. The website appeared to look like the Victoria Secret website and features underwear with anti-rape slogans like "Consent is Sexy", "No Means No", and "Ask First". Nothing on the website was for sale, instead the website provided information about rape education.[11] [12][13] On December 4, 2012, lawyers from Victoria Secret forced the website to be taken down. They claimed that the website caused confusion among their customers.[14]

As a part of Nagle's project to create a national monument for sexual assault survivors, FORCE: Upsetting Rape Culture released a giant floating poem in the Reflecting Pool in front of the Washington National Monument.[15] The floating poem read: "I Can't Forget What Happened But No One Else Remembers."[16] With Force co-founder , Nagle created The Monument Quilt to establish “a public healing space by and for survivors of rape and abuse”. Over 1700 sexual assault survivors have contributed segments to this quilt.[17][18]

In 2019, Nagle hosted the podcast This Land produced by Crooked Media. The podcast focused on the case of Carpenter v. Murphy, a pending Supreme Court case to determine the land rights of various indigenous groups in Oklahoma.[19]

Nagle has been critical of Massachusetts Democratic senator Elizabeth Warren's claims of Cherokee ancestry, emphasizing that "[t]ribal affiliation and kinship determine Cherokee identity — not race or biology."[20][21][22] She has spoken out about the issue in numerous print, television, and online media outlets.[23][24][25][26][27]

Recognition[]

In 2012 and 2013, Nagle was named one of Fast Company's 100 Most Creative People.[28][29] Nagle was also named one of the National Center of American Indian Enterprise Development's 2016 Native American 40 Under 40.[30] Nagle was named the 2016 Sondheim Art Prize recipient, and she was listed on the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts 2015 100 List for innovators and thought leaders.[31]

Personal life[]

Nagle lives in Tahlequah, OK.[1] Nagle identifies as a two spirit woman and is an enrolled citizen of the Cherokee Nation.[32][33] She is a survivor of child sexual abuse.[34][35] Nagle is directly descended from 19th century Cherokee leaders Major Ridge and John Ridge,[36] who signed the Treaty of New Echota, which caused the Trail of Tears for the Cherokee people.[37] She uses this ancestry to highlight points in parts of her This Land podcast.
