Last week, a new dramedy called “Reservation Dogs” premiered on FX via Hulu. Set on Indian Territory in northeastern Oklahoma, the show is part of a renaissance among Indigenous creatives in Hollywood. It’s co-created by filmmakers Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi and had an entirely Indigenous writers room and directing team.

Shea Vassar, film and television critic and citizen of the Cherokee Nation, joined The Takeaway to discuss the new show and why it feels so refreshing for Indigenous audiences.
