Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi’s series about Indigenous folks is gone, but its ripples will be felt throughout the industry for years to come
How typical would it be if the show’s only significant Emmy nomination for this season was a guest actor nom for Ethan Hawke? Obviously, he deserves one, but it would feel very TV Academy to ignore all the brilliant Indigenous actors in favor of the famous white guy. At minimum, if they nominate Hawke, they should be required to also nominate Graham Greene.
The finale opens with aerial shots of Okern as everyone prepares for the funeral. It is by far the broadest and most detailed glimpse we’ve gotten of the area over three seasons, as if Harjo wanted to give us a fuller view of the world before we said goodbye to it. As a version of “Will the Circle Be Unbroken” finishes, we get Willie Jack’s visit to her aunt. What follows is a ramshackle, acutely detailed glimpse of everyone on the reservation assembling to give Fixico the send-off he deserves.
But just as many parts are deeply heartfelt. Elora, for instance, has been waiting to tell Bear about her plan to go away to college, then gets second thoughts when she learns that Rita has taken the promotion and will be moving toCity. Suddenly, her great news is burdened with guilt: Elora is leaving her best friend at the same time his mother is.
And then there are moments that mix the comedic and the poignant at once, like Bear’s final conversation with William Knifeman. For most of these three seasons, William has functioned as a parody of the noble Indian warrior that was the only kind of Indigenous character to appear on screen for decades. But he also offered moments of genuine wisdom to his protege, and it’s clear in this final conversation that the lessons have sunk in.
