Charlie Parr’s “Over The Red Cedar” opening episode 9 slayed me. It’s the only song that references where I’m from (my grandparents lived along that river in childhood) and it’s just a great song.

Loved season 2. I always expected some kind of romantic involvement between Bear and Elora to develop and now we know why it didn’t

I thought they were cousins.

I missed that. I thought Bear’s mom and Cookie were just childhood friends.

I was making a reference to what Cheese said and I really thought they were cousins. I don't know if that is the case or not.

Beautiful ending. It sounds like there’s gonna be a season 3 but that beach scene might’ve been a perfect end for the show. Definitely going to tune in for next season though.

great ending.- but im hoping for a happier ending for the group tho

thinking they all might end up working at an Indian casino in cali.

and they all make the Hollywood dream come to life.

So I thought their goal was to move to Cali, but it sounds like it was just meant to be a spring break trip. Maybe I misremember. Either way, it would have been a perfect ending had it ended there, but it leaves room for another season. They'll spend some time in Cali, find their car (likely with help from White Jesus and the spirits), and find their way back. Where it goes from there can be anything. I think Harjo and Waititi will get it right.

I think the original plan for the end of season 1 was to run away and live in Cali. I think in season 2, the plan after reading Daniel's letter at Willie Jack's was to just make a trip, fulfill Daniel's wish by taking his letter to the ocean.

I am super curious where they'll take this. I'm actually curious to see what the storytellers tell us in where they take this as well. If this was a Dancer, Texas Pop 81 story (honestly can't remember what happens in that movie) I'd be saying that they've already won by getting away from the shitty little town, forget stardom if they can avoid the pitfalls of LA life and get their feet under them they are in a place with opportunity and blah blah blah. But that's my viewpoint about economically depressed small towns being death traps for young people who want to live life, and it lacks much of the complexity that comes with a story about leaving the reservation. And I don't know about that complexity and it's not my place to even speculate as to what it is, I just want to see what the storytellers tell us.

 

My wife's grandpa was born on the reservation - Fort Peck in Montana. A japanese fella in an internment camp up there during the war knocked up a woman on the reservation, which makes my wife roughly 1/8th, although the whole blood quantum thing is fucked up anyways. She had always understood that they were Assiniboine, although her brother who went to Haskell said more recently that they don't actually know if they are Assiniboine or Sioux - both tribes are on that rez and it's not clear. I feel like I'm in danger of becoming the overly interested or overstepping white person but I want to try and get some better information about that at some point, if only for my daughter to know a bit more clearly that part of her history. Anyways, there's not a point that I'm driving towards other than I'm glad this show exists and these people are making it. There's not a ton of native cinema easily available past Smoke Signals, which is good even if the guy who wrote it is at least a bit of a creep (metoo stuff).

You could be like my family and just be Hispanic of Mexican indigenous and Spanish blood and not know a damn thang about the blood make-up. As my grandfather said, “Mexican, Texan, Mestizaje, Indian. I don’t know, I don’t care”

So they are shooting the new season of Reservation Dogs right now in and around Tulsa. I guess Ethan Hawke is going to be in the new season?

This is him and Sterlin Harjo at Philbrook Museum the other day, which is less than a mile from my house. What I’m saying is that we’re all basically best friends now.

God damnit, ep 3 is a roller coaster. I’ve learned about the boarding schools because of the work I do, to see it on screen that way is powerful. I hope people take a deep dive into the atrocities that were committed, it needs to be known. I have a ton more to say that is full cloak room so I’ll hold back for now. Just, damn.

Man, that was a powerful episode. (I want to have relations with Deer Lady -- does that make me weird?)
