Beautiful

Cookie love you so muchie 💜

I don’t know if my grandma was in boarding school but she used to tell me when she was in school and spoke Choctaw she would get hit on the hand with a ruler stick. And both my grandparents spoke Choctaw to each other but never to us, only in English. Looking back at the signs, I believe she was in a boarding school. It all makes sense now. My grandparents were fluent Choctaw speakers but none of their children or grandchildren are. So sad😢

That whole boarding school must have been horrifying. It should never have happened. I believe this is why I don't speak my ancestors language and why it is so difficult for me to find my native ancestors..

Seminole/Mvskoke here, I grew up in the Seminole Nation area where Sterlin Harjo is from. There in the beginning when she is walking in and cleaning the antler, it's just showing that she's always around, still doing her "work" while blending in with society. Just like whenever you see her in other parts of the show, they frequently make it a point to put her on the side of the road as a hitchhiker. That's how she chooses her victims. It's usually a man who abuses and tries to take advantage of women. On another note, when she says she "killed a human wolf", this is actually a reference to the headstone of Katherine Cross which at the bottom says, "Murdered by human wolves". It was a headstone of a cemetery in Konawa, Oklahoma. Notably, Sacred Heart Catholic Church is also in Konawa, Oklahoma which originally was a Catholic Boarding School for natives. www.onlyinyourstate.com/experiences/oklahoma/haunted-mission-ok www.oklahoman.com/story/news/religion/2022/01/30/listening-session-catholic-boarding-schools-stirs-emotions/9233366002/ www.koco.com/article/unique-headstone-at-konawa-cemetery-taken-again/8062711 Throughout the show the Spirit, William Knifeman has played a role in Bear learning to grow up and understand what it means to be a native man. Knifeman had sent Bear on a journey for various reasons, one of which was to come into contact with a lost member of their community to essentially "bring him home". It was entirely possible that he knew that he knew that Bear would run into the Deer Lady, but also it's possible that the writer's just wanted to give Deer Lady a backstory and was able to tie in a story for her while giving Bear a way back home. Essentially, you can tell that he has grown up a lot since the first season and this meeting is exactly where you can really start to see his maturity growth when he shows absolute respect to the Deer Lady and others around him before he even knew who she was.

Think about this. The boarding schools started around 1860 and went until 1978, 523 boarding schools in the U.S. (139 in Canada,). That's over 5 generations effected firsthand.

Don't know if anyone will see this, but I'm watching a documentary about Vaudeville, and a performer named Harry Rose is singing that "Frankfurter sandwiches" song. So, at least there's a reference. 🤷‍♀️😂 As soon as I heard it, I was like I gotta go comment about this. I miss Rez Dogs. And the commentary.

Such a powerful episode and, frankly, a stroke of genius to use horror genre tropes to show such an awful chapter in indigenous history and the lives of so many natives. I am curious as to at what point the writers decided this was Deer Lady's origin. When they wrote the Deer Lady episode in season 1, did they know she had been at a boarding school, or did they decide to do this episode and decide she was the best character for the story? As a white English viewer, I didn't know about the deer lady tradition before watching Rez Dogs.

Yeah this episode got me. Made me think about the stories my grandparents told me.

We have one of these old schools here in Phoenix. It was this white clapboard structure. We never saw people nearby. There is also a little graveyard. The place was called the Southwest Indian School when we moved to Phoenix in 1989.

“they can’t destroy our spirit.” sheesh that’s super powerful to hear

When my great grandfather came over, he would not speak to his children at all because he could not speak English and he did not want them to learn German as their first language. This was right after WW2. So he did not speak to his own children until he knew enough English to speak to them. My great grandmother and her family had been here for a little longer, so she spoke English, and Dansk. But she would only speak English to her children. But, as a result, our family lost BOTH languages. So when certain populations are not only allowed to keep their language, but get their own translators and classes and all, my mother gets angry. "We had to learn ENGLISH to live here!" She says. I get the anger, but I really wish that my family would have taught us our languages and English AND learn Spanish, instead of just assuming that we can only speak one.

Unfortunately no matter where people in power are there are wolf's working for them doin there dirty work and i truly believe that these evil wolf's will get the judgment they deserve children from all over the world are abused and molded into very unhappy unhealthy mental shells of fear ,there is a lot of evil in this world 🌎, and theres lots of room in that lake of fire i just wish instead of innocent folks disappearing it was just the evil ones that would mysterious dissappear.

I have seen trailers and clips of this show but cannot watch the show. I cant afford cable or even Hulu right now. I am dependent on the government and they are determined to kneep me living below the poverty level. When i was in college i remember hearing about senior citizens eating cat food because they couldnt afford food. Now im a senior citizen and i understand why. Where can i get a deer antler? Just kidding, but it could pass through a metal detector. Hmmm.

They call the Native people "savages." But how many white children were taken by Native people and to be one of them in comparison to how many Native children were sent to the boarding schools. I think it's interesting that they called them Indian Schools. That sounds like they want to make the children better Indians not turn them into White children. It's a wonder, with all that trauma, that there weren't more "Deer Women". I guess most of them turned the anger and hate inward and became depressed.

I can't believe that the boarding schools were allowed to continue that long. I wonder why the indigenous people who survived boarding school would allow authorities to take their children to boarding school. If they tried to take my child I think I would meet them at the door with a shotgun.when I watched the movie Indian Horse, I thought it was insane that the boys mother was encouraging him to go to the boarding school when she had gone there as a child and she just lost her oldest son to some disease (was it TB or Pneumonia I'm not sure ) he caught at the school. Had he not rn away and come back home he would have been in one of those graves. I had heard of those boarding schools but I was shocked to learn that they had operated so long. Why weren't these mysterious deaths investigated? I guess after being beat down by the government the Native people were afraid to question authority. The governments Indian policy has always been a bunch of crap. I remember, as a young child, being told by my maternal grandmother that we were Cherokee. I heard stories about the Trail of Tears and how our ancestors had to walk thousands of miles in all kinds of weather over 4 months to get to Indian territory. They put on a reservation and told that was their land forever. That is until they found oil on the land then the government "bought" the land from the tribe and told them they no longer had to live there. I grew up hearing the stories but did not grow up with the language or the culture. My ancestors were ashamed of being Indian and they did not pass those down. My mother grew up on Oklahoma and went to Pow Wows with her mom but I don't remember ever going to a Pow Wow but I have memories of watching men dancing in feathers and shirts with colorful ribbons. That may have been something I saw on TV. I remember watching Eagle Dancers when I was in high school but it wasn't until after I graduated college and was in graduate school before I went to my first Pow Wow. My father also told me that his grandfather was Creek. I know even less about him because my paternal grandmother and great grandfather both past away before I got to know them. I did know my great grandfather's wife. She told us that our great grandfather started out being raised in the white world (although he was half Indian) until his mother died and he was sent to live on a reservation with his grandfather. He hated it and couldn't wait until he was old enough to leave and he never looked back. I don't know if he had to go to one of those boarding schools or if he was maltreated because he was half white but he didn't like to talk about being Indian. Another language and culture lost. I was and still am proud of my Indian heritage no matter how watered down it may be. And when I tell someone that I am part Indian they look at my blue eyes and brown hair and say yeah, right. One of these days I will learn to cuss then out in Cherokee.

I love this show, and I really appreciate your thoughtful discussion (love your content!). As a non-indigenous decendant of colonizers, this episode kicked my white ass. Even though I've known about the residential schools in both Canada & the States (shout out to Connie Walker, Canadian journalist), the perspective of the kids is heartbreaking...the use of gibberish was so effective. Thank God we're finally beginning to see some representation of other cultures in the media. Fuck.

And reminiscent of the Africans who were brought here and had their language and culture beaten out of them.

In the Army glasses like Cheese's are called Birth Control Glasses.

Grew up near Philly. Each year saw the Liberty Bell, Carpenters Hall and Betsy Ross House. Never was taught about US concentration camps for citizens of Japanese descent during WWII or the stolen indigenous children who couldn’t wear their own clothes, eat their own food, speak their own language, live with their own family or tribe, etc. Not to mention of course the incomplete history of slavery. I often wonder what else have I missed?

I’m not a native but I have to say that boarding school sh-t was really f’d up and heartbreaking. The amount of injustice and outright sadistic abuse in the name of religion is abhorrent. I don’t know how it can ever be reconciled.

Deer Lady spin off for sure!

Wela'lin. The clip in the boarding school talking between the two was in my RUclips recommendations this AM. This was after I had a chat with my daughter last night about a woman I see walking around the streets. She always has this huge smile on all of the time. I said to my daughter that it seems unnatural that she smiles that much all of the time. After that clip, I felt bad. It's like it was placed for me to see. Kiowa huh? Nice sounding language.

Ngl... I just watch it for kani.

Last boarding school closed in Canada 1996. Let that sink in for a minute for anyone who every heard someone say "they need to get over that ancient history" I am 47 - there are people my age who went to these hell-holes.

Loved this review. Old man is confessing, like in Catholic Church. But instead of receiving absolution from a priest, he receives justice from his victim.

In LA it's seems the indigenous have the concept about keeping what you know private because it's has affects on the waves ,etc. (plus events in relation to farming regulations, etc.) I saw some women who became red women because they have gotten so much bad with a lack of assistance and attention to it. THUS communication and support of "the issues" is a great service to many people's angles known or unknown.

Thank you for your perspective on this episode. I fell in love with Reservation Dogs after watching the first episode. I lost track of the number of times it made me laugh and made me cry. This episode in particular had me in tears throughout. What a tragically beautiful work of Art. It was a pleasure listening to you discuss it.

I really appreciate your view and amazing research that went into this show, ive watched it twice and still your content was sooo informative and well spoken as well as y'all's personal opinions. I know you guys have watched the first two seasons but have you made similar content about the seasons on your individual channels?

I read it as it was time for his redemption he knew why she was there he knew it didn’t matter he knew he had to face his choices.

Great show

I watch this episode at least once a week. I bawl every time 😢

Deer woman kills the wicked and has love for good people

My indigenous people deers eat their body weight and what is a natural food is berries and perhaps a fruit orchard or corn

My bloodline is Kumeyaay koo-me-eye southern California tribe we lived with the Mexicans then the Spaniards came with their Bibles which means my family was killed or a slave to build a church so I am thinking that Jesus God kills innocent people's

bear and jackie will get together , on and off for a few years maybe even have a kid or 2 then breakup in their 20s when elora comes back from college her and bear will be together in their 30s and grow old together.

i became an auntie at 6 lol

Does the ending of the uncle talk feel like the ending of Indian mans anonymous😭🤣

Individuate organticly flows....we need spin offs! THE ADVENTURES OF DEER LADY AND BIG! Like batman and robin!

In Iowa we Crack a beer and walk outside and look up like Uncle Brownie when we hear a siren, then start taking pics/Video. Check out Resident Alien folks!

Bus Station Bev!

I felt like he knew she was his reckoning. I felt like he knew he was gonna die.

Dude sounds like Big. "Everything's connected."

I hope this doesn't show disrespect but wouldn't a graphic novel with Deer Lady and her avenging work be interesting? Makes me think of Spawn killing the pedophile.

I have watched a lot of documentaries on missing indigenous people and this led me to finding out about boarding schools and the sheer lack of humanity that. colonialism brought ,what I didn't know was that it's so close to home for the elders in your community.This episode was heart wrenching but so important .
