Celebrating National Native American History Month: Jason Momoa

Jason Momoa, National Native American History Month

Jason Momoa is an actor, social entrepreneur, filmmaker, and advocate for environmental issues and social justice. His father is Native Hawaiian while his mother is of German, Irish, and Pawnee ancestry. Jason Momoa is best known for playing the roles of Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones and Arthur Curry/Aquaman in both Aquaman movies. Momoa has long advocated for the rights of people of Island Nations, to recover their past and to protect their futures. His entrepreneurial pursuits include advancing practices, materials, and products that enable the sustainable enjoyment of the outdoors, a necessary precondition to protecting nature. Collaborations have included climbing apparel, shoes and bags with Soi LL, electrified motorcycles with Harley-Davidson, and the development of ManaNalu – a fast growing new vertical of packaged water presented in infinitely recyclable aluminum packaging that can be refilled due to the resealable screw top design, a key criterion to disrupt single-use plastic bottled water. He leverages his social media to raise awareness on plastics, biodiversity loss, Antarctica marine protected areas, illegal fishing, and climate change.
