I dont think they even know how much this show means to people like me. I didnt grow up in the rez or connected to our tribe. No. My grandfather was taken from his home on the rez at 5 yrs old and given a new name by the boarding school. The only people who looked like me I ever saw were my mom and grandfather. I have spent my whole life being asked what I am, people assuming what I am, and my age being questioned all the time. It hurts to feel like you are alone, and since Standing Rock it has opened up this world of people who have given my family so much hope that my mom is finally getting her tribal citizeship. Whats funny to me more than anything is how much we grew up with our tribes culture and didnt even know it. I love this show and Harjo for making it happen.

[@irissoniachavez]

I’m Mexican American. I love this show. It represents your culture how you view it and on your terms . I love it!! Native people are owed so much by this government. This is such an awesome representation!!! Keep them coming, we love this show and want more. I wish the episodes would be longer 😀

[@eizapez3549]

Yes, I don't understand why why it's ending?? Who's decision that it should end so soon. WHAT is going to place it?? Are we supposed to thankful that it was only given so many seasons and so limited episodes?? What opportunities will the actors have? I will still watch... It will be sad to see it end.

[@reggiekim5454]

As a Korean-American, I’m so happy and impressed to see how this show and its stories were brought to the screen. It now serves as a wonderful example that other minorities and underrepresented groups can follow. It stands in stark contrast to how “Kim’s Convenience” was run and the difficulties that created. Also, big ups for finding a place for Bobby Lee and all he brings with his comedy!

[@mahnoortahir8114]

Completely agree. That’s exactly how I feel about all of the south Asian comedy sitcoms that really just pander to an audience that is not actually south Asian rather than making it an experience for the viewer to see a new side of the culture and it’s people

From the City to the Rez we are STILL HERE!✊🏾

Great job! Can't wait to see you on more shows & hopefully movies too!

I'm ready for Season 2. Good storyline. The Hunting episode made me tear up a bit. I can't lie.

[@ericdarnell2520]

Absolutely. The Hunting episode made me ugly cry. It profoundly captured grief and loss.

I lost my cousin this year, so that episode hit me hard. Especially the singing at the end

To all the producers writers directors actors sound people, catering people, lighting, cinematographer camera people THANK YOU ALL from the bottom of my suddenly expanded heart.

[@suzymoon8414]

This is my favorite show! I’ve rewatched the episodes, I’ve subscribed to 1491s and watched these talented fellas, watched vignettes, I practice my war cry all the time, can’t get “Come and Get Your Love” out of my head, and Deer Woman is my new hero, she gets the bad guys that take Indigenous women. Dallas Goldtooth is brilliant.

[@brentkdaniels]

Memories of my childhood just popped into my mind. The good memories, the bad memories, and the ugly memories just flashed through my mind. I just loved the show. Only the first episode is available in Canada so far but I love it.

[@renfou420]

I'm so glad I can finally watch in 🇨🇦. The show is tremendous.

[@StephySon]

It’s kinda dope hearing how hood movies like Belly were how many native communities felt represented. As someone who’s black and native the connections we share feel strong

[@tecunumantonatiu4484]

The catfish secret society and the Deer Lady episode. SUPERB. YOU ARE CREATING AN INSTANT CLASSIC !

[@cisko213]

Thank you FX for giving the show a chance. A breath of fresh air….

[@30chillipalmer]

I wish nothing but the best for anyone involved in this amazing piece of art. We need so many more shows exactly like this one.

Shout out from Treaty 1 Canada. Indigenous and proud!! I am anishinaabe and plains cree and I am so so happy to see Indigenous representation. I've been waiting for so long for this.

[@isaiahghost9020]

Within the 2 years I lived on the reservation I have experienced so much from my own people and this show represents what happens there so well.

[@iroxmox]

My son's dream is to work in the Filming industry and he's taking every class he can, this show came at the most perfect time and is definitely an inspiration for him to keep going.

[@zmznzbzvzmznzb]

This is pure Gold and will always be. Not just to Native Americans and Canadians and African Americans and Canadians but to everyone! I'm from Scotland and I felt like this too! We all have our story. You all just tell it so well and hit the nails on every head Perfectly 😊❤

[@codyandrews5656]

Much love from Hopi here in AZ. I personally never watched the show but seen clips here and there and been hearing a lot of great things about it. We need another series called the "Crazy Horses" 😆 Shout out to Boy and Taika.

3:10: THANK YOU, Tazbah Chavez! Thank you. You have no idea how important to me it is to hear someone besides me say this. Close enough isn’t good enough. Not when we face cultural extinction.

[@aaf877]

She hit the nail on the head being Native myself and only being able to relate to black shows growing up because we didn't have much Native content to relate to.

[@1coolgal247]

I havent stopped laughing. From the jump i was dying. Like this is my childhood!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@ScreamingSkullSaloon]

Haven't seen an all Native cast since Spirit Bay in the early 80's, which was more of a G rated show while Rez Dogs is more PG-13. Love it!

[@msKita43]

Keep it up. Great show all around, writing, production, acting, all stellar!

[@pattidavis944]

Best show ever, some scenes I cant stop laughing at 🤣. I luv it ❤. Hope I'm there when yall Natives receive your Stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame 👍👏👌.

[@jmg999]

This show had such incredible heart and told stories of unrelenting pain and loss that could only be overcome through acceptance and community. It's a shame that it ended so soon.

[@jeffreywheat8676]

Incessant laughter and incredible insight Straight up genius

[@MRLMF5]

Never heard of this show till today. I am looking forward to watching season 1. Let me also say that it's about time. The only thing I knew about the Reservation was the look inside I got watching those American Gangster episodes on A&E. I felt like the white kid learning about N.W.A. for the first time. Just living with blinders on. Looking forward to the series.😁

[@erniewells9229]

Reservation Dogs is one of THE BEST shows on right now. It's hitting on all cylinders. I'm looking forward to what else is coming this season and for the next 7 seasons. I'm ready to see what Sterling Harjo and crew do with a full length movie.

Thought I would watch this show and now I'm hooked been waiting for the next series , its so interesting see the life style and beliefs. one person that was very interesting was the the deer lady, I've always heard about her and I thought was cool and mysterious to see her.

Just finished watching this series, it's really cool, funny, and awesome about friendship and family. So sad about how Daniel ended his life and that's why this series warn people about mental health. Looking forward to the season 2!! 🙌

As a proud indigenous Mandandanji man from Australia. I feel like the similarities between native Americans and Aboriginal Australians are so evident. I love the humour and the deepness of the stories. The unknown warrior is my favourite character ever. Spectacular job

[@user-rh1sh1em7m]

Love, love the show!!!!😁😁😁😁

[@lovefaith6285]

I grew up relating to black shows/culture because it was "close enough". We found out my great great grandfather fled Arizona to Texas, changed his lastname, learned Spanish and assimilated into Mexican cultural to keep from being put on a reservation or killed. Growing up I was never accepted by Mexicans because I wasn't like them, I didn't come from Mexico, so I was teased about being white. White people didn't accept me of course, to them I was a Mexican. Blacks were a little more accepting of me but still was bullied by them because I'm not "their kind". This show is just phenomenal because it's something our people can relate to, seeing people that look like us on screen and also behind the scenes. I'm so happy to see something like this in my lifetime and hope to see more in the future! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@zsong9600]

I am so glad I started watching this show besides entertaining it’s also educational.

This show is much like The Rez, a Canadian show about teenagers on a Reservation in the 1990s.

[@ToniAllen]

Hey, Sterlin. Your dad and my mom apparently went on a couple of dates in high school. It's been really cool seeing a show that feels so familiar to my own life. Wado for bringing Native voices mainstream.

[@stephaniemaupin3968]

I absolutely love this show. But is it weird that I feel like an imposter relating with the content because I was told I wasn't "indian enough" growing up? Watching this show brings me nostalgia like no other. Very bittersweet. Thank you!

[@i_think_im_high]

Me and my sister and mother were Iowa and we really want to be on the show

[@VieraXXII]

I have so many words and feelings about this. Especially the writer explaining "close enough" of a representation isn't good enough. I remember wanting to be Pocahontas because she was the only brown Disney chic back in the day. I get it, and I fully support y'all and have been telling my friends about this show! 💪🏾✊🏾❤️

[@bhenderson2725]

I'm 40ish, lol, the only indigenous actor ive ever hear about was graham greene, now that Res Dogs is out, I'm looking forward to the future.

[@IronCurtaiNYC]

Do you know about Wes Studi? He played Sagat in the 1990's Street Fighter movie and he was also in Mystery Men (1999). He's such a versatile actor that he isn't typecast into typical indigenous roles.

[@filiandsela]

I know Taika Waititi is a producer for this awesome show but as a Kiwi I'd be interested to know what his role entailed. He doesn't appear to be on set

[@EricEustace]

He just put his hands on it so it would be green lit. Don't think he had an actual input in the show as he didn't grow up in the rez, lol. Maori /Samoa living is very similar though (I used to go out with a kiwi girl, native American here).
