Sterlin Harjo expressed that growing up, he felt overlooked due to the lack of Native American representation in mainstream media, which deeply impacted his identity.
Harjo shared a pivotal moment when he realized 'No one will ever know what that feels like again.' This reflects the significance of his work on 'Reservation Dogs' in changing narratives.
D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, a young actor from 'Reservation Dogs,' highlighted that the series taught him 'how important it is that we are the ones to tell our stories,' emphasizing the need for authenticity.
The impact of 'Reservation Dogs' was not just the comedy it presented, but it spawned a new generation of Native storytellers, empowering them to tell their own narratives.
