Stories inspired by tribes are coming to life in 'Spirit Rangers,' giving authentic representation to Natives in an all-new animated show for kids. FOX13
Spirit Rangers Talon Proc Alford as Eddy Skycedar, Isis Celilo Rogers as Summer Skycedar and Wačíŋyeya Iwáš’aka Yracheta as Kodi Skycedar in Spirit Rangers. Cr. COURTESY OF NETFLIX © 2022Growing up on the Tulalip reservation, Joey Clift didn’t see anyone representing him on the TV screen.
The show, set in a fictional national park, follows the Skycedar family. While the location is fictional, the stories themselves are inspired by real Native American tribes. The show’s creator, Karissa Valencia, put together an all-Native writers’ room. That alone could bring authenticity to the show, but Clift explained that they wanted to be intentional about everything they did: Valencia and Clift approached their tribes to get permission to use Chumash and Cowlitz language, and stories.
"There was a ton of pressure," said Clift. "But that was something that’s been so fulfilling to see – now that the show is out in the world and people can see it I’ve been feeling nothing but love from my tribe and Native people as a whole. That’s what this is all about. This is why we’ve worked so hard for the past 2 ½ years, or in my case the past 20 years of my career – to create this kind of thing that I never thought would exist on TV before.
