I love this series and highly recommend it. If you are not familiar with the slow cadence, wry/sometimes sardonic humor, and wonderfully “outside the hoop” kind of conversation many Indigenous have, give it some time to grow on you. Sometimes time is a character in this series!
I feel so lucky to know some of these talented artists and am so happy to see their work on the screen!
Tomorrow marks the commencement of the final season of Reservation Dogs. This powerful series has spoken volumes to our hearts, striking a deep chord by showcasing our humor, our close-knit community, and the intricacies of life on the rez.
There are countless moments that have resonated with us, but there's a particular scene from season two that truly epitomizes our journey. It echoes a question often asked:
How are we still here?
Amidst the trials and tribulations of genocide, colonization, and forced assimilation... this potent image from Reservation Dogs provides a potent response.🔥💪
With the wisdom of our ancestors guiding our path, and the future of the seventh generation resting on our shoulders, our resolve is unwavering. We are not just survivors, but resilient thrivers - a testament to the strength that flows in our veins.✊🏽
We will not slow down. We will not be silenced. We march forward, proud of our past, present, and future. This is our story, and it will continue to echo across generations.🌍🔊
