Reservation Dogs Season 1 | A Native REACTION and ANALYSIS
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 сен 2021
- Here I give my initial thoughts on things I liked about FX/Hulu's Reservation Dogs. I then proceed to give my media analysis.
I’ve had many comments and DM’s about The Deer Lady played by Kaniehtiio Horn. I had no idea who she was when I recorded this, and even more so, I had no idea she was Mohawk. I understand my passing comment saying that she was white may have upset others. I’ll admit it was quite dismissive and I should’ve done deeper research into the cast.
But this also illustrates my own ignorance. I’m not super up to date nor super knowledgeable in every aspect of Indigenous Representation, hence why this channel exists. As I mentioned in my first upload, I am also learning with you all. I appreciate the honest feedback, and it motivates me to be better at my research and communication surrounding Indigenous Representation.

You should check out some clips of her in Letterkenny, for those good grill marks, though I’m sure you’ve been told that already lol.
Thank you, but I still dont see how her name didnt tip you off. Totally understand you cant know every actor, but she was the only actor you did that too. Shes a cover girl for Cheek Bone Beauty, seriously, how did you miss those cheek bones? But more than anything, her name couldnt be more Mohawk. I would think that would have made you a tad curious to do a simple google or imdb search, before singling her out. I dont know you, but given this channel, I would not just look at you and say phenotype, brown eyes and skin, black hair, you must be Mexican.
@@janes.1559 I simply didn't research. I'm owning up that and I was ignorant in that. That simple, but now I know who she is and I've been listening to her podcast lately. I'm just starting this whole RUclips thing and now I know to do better research with talent and writers. We Navajo unfortunately have a proclivity to project what Indigenity looks like, and I simply let that part of me just slip due to ignorance. Simple as that.
Typical of “more Indian than you Indian.” Be better.
You inadvertently brought up an interesting thought, though. I’m not native and RD was my first exposure to Deer Woman (pleased to say I immediately got the pixelated owl eyes concept though from Native friends reacting similarly IRL). So I don’t know if my comment is stupid or not, but I think it would have been a funny poke at white people to have cast DW as a clearly Caucasian woman-like, “Ooooooh…that’s even CREEPIER…” lol. Well, anyway, I would have thought it was funny but I retract my opinion if it’s disrespectful of the Deer Woman. I love her and I’ve loved reading more about how various nations tell her story.
Great review. Just one clarification. The person who plays deer woman is indigenous. Kaniehtiio Alexandra Jessie Horn is half Mohawk and half German/Scottish. I get mistaken for white as well being half Chichimeca half Irish.
She plays Tanis in Letterkenny.
@@dalektorgo2973 that's why she looked so familiar to me!! i love letterkenny!
@@dalektorgo2973 Kaniehtiio did a voice for Assassin's Creed III too, it was pretty cool, she had a lot of Mohawk lines!
Kaniehtiio also narrorates a podcast called "Telling Our Twisted Tales" about decolonizing our words.
Aha! I knew I was going to miss something! I didn't know she was Mohawk! Thanks for the clarification.
I loved that they let Wes Studi be funny. He's fantastic in everything, but he's so much more than the "stoic " characters that regular hollywood casts him in.
The part where she asks uncle Brownie about her mom, and he says "no" its so heartbreaking and indian uncles tend to be that way and so gruff there was a beautifully timed pause. It gives you time to feel that heart break for them. and then he goes on to say "I cant because it will make me cry". I loved it it also showed his tenderness and how much love he had for the mother and the daughter.
I am mixed Irish, Puerto Rican/Taino, Lebanese, Scandinavian, etc., but I have many Cousins, Aunties and Uncles that are Mexican and I grew up hearing about the Legend of the La Lechuza which is an Owl Witch Being. We were told as children not to whistle at Night or the La Lechuza would come for you. So finding out about Owls being a bad omen of sorts for most North American Native Peoples was a little surprising but at the same time familiar.
Kaniehtiio Horn who played Deer lady is part native and part German not fully white and is also an activist for the Kahnawake First Nation which I believe is from Montreal?
I had no clue, thanks for that info.
So I hopped over to your art site just now, and I really like your art. Since I'm a cat lady, the Blessing Pug is my fave; I can see one of my cats dressing like that and blessing a lowly dog...
First saw you on Patrick's YT, so came here and subscribed. Very good video. Guess I'll have to find a way to watch Res Dogs. (No TV.) Keep up the good work!
Forgot: LOVE the logo! Really sharp, simple, gorgeous!
The owl thing blew my mind and unlocked a memory from when I was a kid I hadn't thought about for like over twenty years. Because the Indigenous population is high among Mexicans and even mixed race Mexicans it's also a thing to not look at owls in the eyes. There's even a song about the "Lechuza". I remember my tia telling me as a kid to not look at an owl in the eyes and me as a kid taking this seriously but not grasping the why.
I love the deer lady ♥️ I can’t wait for more of her story.
Loved your review, subbed. As an Okie born in the 50's I am a fan of the show, besides having a great story and characters, also because I'm familiar with the people, places and culture of my home state but being non-indigenous I liked hearing your perspective. Thanks also for the more esoteric comments on film realism and am looking forward to your upcoming vids.
Some important cast members to note are the rappers who play Mose and Mekko. They go by Lil Mike and FunnyBone and they are actually a rap duo from Oklahoma City. They even appeared on America’s Got Talent a few years back. As an Okie and Cherokee nation tribe member it was awesome to see them in the show!
Yup, I mention that in my full review of the show. I remember them when I was in HS.
Thanks for watching.
After the hunting episode I had to call my Dad. Leon reminded me SO MUCH of him, down to what you should do if a deer runs out in front of you. ('Don't swerve, don't slam on the breaks, just run on through. Better for you and the deer')
Thanks for the review:) I have too few technical opportunities to watch the full show at the moment, but I'll definitely do that in the future to have a better impression of modern Native American culture and life as a whole. A lot of things the show tells about are true for my country, too, for all ethnic groups living there, including my own.
I loved the Spirit:) Yes, he's a parody on stereotypes, but also a reflection of the archetype of the Trickster as well. I've recently read "The Hero and The Outlaw", a book by M. Mark and C. Pearson, and decided to look for archetypes not only in brands, but in film and literature. I noticed many of the archetypes during my little research, but couldn't find the Trickster. And then I saw your review and the Spirit, and now I have a great example :))) I also watched the1491s, all of them are very clever guys :)
Great review! It was cool hearing your thoughts on the show.
The actress of deer woman is not white She's native; first nations: native Canadian (Mohawk) she was actually born and raised on the rez. Her name is Kaniehtiio "Tiio" Horn. She's mohawk from the Kahnawake mohawk reservation. Her mother is a n activist and former model Kahn-tineta Horn and her sister is Waneek hork- Miller. She a Canadian water Polo Gold medalist and the first Mohawk woman to compete in the Olympics and inducted into the canadian sports hall of fame.
I’ve since learned this since I’ve made this video. But thank you for watching and your feedback. My review of the 1st season addresses this mistake.
@@nativemediatheory oh ok.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 This was a great reaction/analysis! You’re on your way to becoming a great film theorist 🔥 I can’t wait to watch this series….basically anything from Taika is 🔥
Owls are omens for tribes in New Zealand too!
Owls are the same for Mexicans too, it stems from our indigenous tribes here as well :) great review.
Enjoyed the video! I wonder if it would be accurate to say that "Reservation Dogs" includes scenes of magical realism within the larger backdrop of realism. I've heard the term but I'm not entirely sure if I know magical realism when I see it - it sounds like an oxymoron.
I'm a Cherokee Principal People okla much ❤ thanks for the review. I'm hoping you have lots of work to come :)
I also hope season 2 are 1hr episodes
I love and respect your knowledge ….
I really enjoyed this analysis! Looking forward to checking out your other videos!
I really loved thia show. It is one of the best new shows of the year. I only hope it gets more seasons.
Dude, enjoyed your comments and analysis very much.
I love watching 1491's, I always thought they were underrated, but I'm so glad to see they're being recognized. When my girls and I were watching the Uncle Brownie Episode, we were like, "TWO WILLY JACKS IN THE SAME ROOM!". Miigwech!
Me and my ma just binged watch this and we both freaked out when we saw the goat lady bc my dad would tell stories about sightings of his own
Deer Lady
Let’s gooooooo!!! Solid vid my guy!
Could you do an episode on "rhymes for young ghouls" and "blood quantum" also kind of old school but it has john trudell, "thunderheart".
Awesome Review! I adore this show and I can't wait to see more of it.
I’m Mexican/American (sorry), but I thought the deer lady (7:33) was played by a woman who(m?) is Native. Or at least, it’s what another RUclipsr said - she recognized the actor.
Willie Jack!!!
‘Skoden!
Have you watched Trailer Park boys. I find similarities
Here from natives react!
Congratulations on a great show and realistic commentary. To help fill in some historical gaps, please read "Unsettling Truths" by Mark Charles and Soong-Chan Rah - the whole True History of Native indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island. Big Eye Opener!
Using humor to deal with and explore trauma and pain is also a very Jewish thing, so no wonder Taika is so good at it, he’s both!
Subscribing
Owls creep me out. I'm 1/4th Cherokee.
They are messengers. What is the message that is coming.
What about your Dad episode ? When they go to pick up the necklace for Bears Dad. And her Aunt asks. You dont mind me counting the money do ya? I would of said Oh no of course not. Btw you dont mind cutting one of those nuts off do ya? Yeah he uses short cords not the long ones.
That actually was pretty funny
For media concerns, look at Targets new commercial about buying minority. First Nations not even mentioned
❤️🔥🇲🇽❤️🔥
Waddo for this video.
saw you on Natives react! thought I'd pop over and subscribe! cheers!
Willie Jack is iconic
2:45 😂🤣😂
Maybe the best line in all of the series 🤣
👍🏼👍🏼
Kanietiio plays the Deer Lady, and she isnt a white woman. She is Mohawk, Bear Clan, born and raised on the Kahnawake Reservation. Did her name not tip you off? The years of working for indigenous causes and activism and so many roles, many speaking Kanyen'keha, fluently. Her mother and grandfather are famous, groundbreaking Mohawk activist. You dismissing her as white woman, pretty appalling and racists. How insulting you dont think she looks indigenous enough. Just wow.
I agree with you. See my pinned comment above. Was an honest mistake, and for sure I was dismissive. I’ve been dismissed by my own people for not being full Navajo or for not being fluent in the language.
I literally had no clue who she was until it was pointed out by many and now I know, and now I know about her work and contributions to Indigenous representation.
Ahé’héé’
Give Aunty Tanis her respect
@@nativemediatheory perhaps read up on her a bit. She is 3rd generation, main stream activist. She was the little 4 yr old, in her sisters arms, while her sister was stabbed by the military during the Oka Crisis... the image was the cover of every magazine and paper. Her mother is a legendary activist, She has a podcast, coffee with my ma, which chronicles her experience as a model, a mohawk and activist, taking on major players. Her sister is the first Canadian Indigenous Olympian. Another sister, an award winning phd, yet another, a MD working on reservations. Kanietiio is a large enough presence in the Native Arts, she has earned respect. She still stars on Letterkenny, and is producing its spin off, she just j joined the cast of Rutherford Falls for S2, mainstream to indigenous. Do yourself a favor and look into her and her family. They are amazing women, Mohawk women.
@@janes.1559 I will, thank you.
I’m sorry, but with all due respect…navigating misery with humor is in absolutely no way whatsoever something unique to Natives in any way. It’s a part of the HUMAN condition and is something everyone does.
Of course, but within the context of native representation and it’s history, many representations of native people show us to be stoic, the Noble Savagery (see my Natives in Literature Videos). However, this show and many others by indigenous people are allowing us to be in charge of our representation and instead of dealing with our trauma by perpetuating stereotypes, we choose humor. And you’re right, many people do it, but within the context of history of native representation, it’s unique.
