[@Marconius17]

It’s crazy when a scene can make you tear up but you’re not really sure what part of it is making you cry.

[@nikkimiddlekillsday5161]

The part where you realize you relate to what the character is going through

[@flowersafeheart]

Exactly

[@randygeorge3270]

Took a tv show to remind me that our ancestors are with us no matter what. And when you realize it. That's a powerful thing.

[@JimmyFL407]

The truth made you cry. Me as well. Our ancestors are all around us but most of the world has forgotten

[@MasonKane]

That finally realizing that even when you feel most alone. The most down. That you aren't ever really. You're home. Within us all. That part made me cry. I felt like a weight was lifted off of me.

[@clarazennaro-mansson7672]

Paulina is SUCH a good actress. Comedy, tragedy, character, all across the board she just brings it.

[@BeMineValentine]

I was thinking while I was watching, I think she's the best on this show. It's just so real. She is exactly like your rez homegirl.

[@ThunderlipsPDX]

I have been telling my son since he was able to talk that his ancestors have his back. Every morning when I dropped him at daycare I would tell him that. They are always around. When I took him to his first powwow this summer, I saw him have this moment. I saw him with his eyes tightly closed during grand entry. When he opened them, they were welling up with tears. He looked at me and gave me the hardest hug he ever had. Made me cry too. It was beautiful. Just five years old and he felt the power of the universe wash over him. Never ever ever will I forget it.

[@Gabbycat043]

My auntie and cousin are in this scene! 💕 the background song brings back memories. Love this show!

Correct me if wrong because it’s an assumption but in my mind they gotta be the two women directly behind her, similar hair, top half of the face and skin tones.

@@openminded4751 I thought this was TOO SACRED to make a comment on, like any other religious ceremony.

[@komradekobra]

Thank you FX for doing your research and learning our Native culture to produce an outstanding show!!!

[@brucesnow7125]

Well, one of the creators of the show is Indigenous and they have tonnes of Native writers. So I don't think FX needed to do much research. Creators are drawing from their own lives and culture.

[@nikkimiddlekillsday5161]

It's an all Native made show, writers and everything. This isn't FX showing our culture it US showing our culture

[@IronCurtaiNYC]

@@nikkimiddlekillsday5161 Exactly, All FX had to do was greenlight and fund the show (and renew it for a 2nd and 3rd season (the latter of which I can't wait to watch!)).

[@merkinidgit]

Sterlin Harjo cannot receive enough commendation for this show. FX execs wanted the show to be shot in NM, not OK, but he refused to accommodate that. He told them he could produce a show to be set in NM, but it wouldn’t be Rez Dogs. As indigenous stories, the land is a large enough part of the story as to be almost another character. It’s his uncompromising vision and talent that makes Rez Dogs what it is, and that’s not at all to take away from the enormously talented cast, crew, and writers. I’m a white woman living on Mvskoke land not far from where most of the scenes are shot. I really hope and expect that Rez Dogs leads a cultural revolution of more and more marginalized people having the resources they need to share their stories with the wider audiences, without compromise to the established status quo of the entertainment industry. I’m so grateful that Sterlin Harjo became friends with Taika Waititi in the times that we have streaming services in addition to traditional broadcast TV. Rez Dogs couldn’t have happened with the old TV execs. 🪶

Indians never got past Spirits, not even got to Gods, God and not the One true God. Stone Age Tribal; not a good thing. No written language, No metal, not even round things: wheels. Not a society to admire.

[@toons8744]

Native or not, this is human. This is our entire existence, legacy and history passed down and stories and indivduals.. its something anyone can understand. Its just that the indigenous have never lost that, while so many others have. They have my respect

[@fernandoapplegate1921]

This scene ran though my heart like a freight train, I prayed with my Son at the alter on Sunday Service, I felt an overwhelming feeling like I was surrounded, I felt safe. I wonder if it was my past loved ones and those before me comforting my pain. I adored that feeling.

I have been mistaken for being native as a mexican american, but this scene makes me wish I was native the moment she touched her shoulder and she felt the presence of her ancestors so powerful. I have played this scene over and over and makes me cry every time. The writing on this show is amazing and they have taken newly minted actors and made them so believable.

[@LyndaGene]

Friend, if you are Mexican, you most likely have indigenous ancestors from those lands. When I've gone to powwows on the west coast, I've seen wonderful dancers representing those nations. So let Willie Jack's experience inspire your own. I wish you peace and strength. (and yes, I totally agree about this show and these actors. I'm a writer and the storytelling just knocks me out.)

@@LyndaGene Only people of color have ancestors, apparently.

​@@LyndaGene hey I am A Mexican. But I was told I have Native blood from my Grandfather. But I don't claim to be a Native because I feel like even if I have some blood I was raised as a Mexican American. So to claim I am a native is kinda a lie and disrespectful to real Natives.
