McClarnon, Hunkpapa Lakota and an executive producer in the series, said that working with a native cast and crew is ‘a dream come true’.
“I think we have taken a long way in this industry for the representation of indigenous communities, and I think we have a way to go, and we want to maintain it,” he said. “But I feel very happy that I was able to experience it in my career. We humanize and normalize indigenous people on television. “
McClarnon not only responds and serves as an executive producer in the series, but he will also have his directing debut in the recently announced season 4.
“We are those stereotypes and those tropics that we have been dealing with for a long time,” he said. “We now have more a voice, and it is very happy to be part of it.”
Gordon, who plays Navajo Tribal Police Officer Jim Chee, agreed. “It’s great, because why not?” He told Yahoo Entertainment. “It took us long enough to get into these positions, and I just like to see it. It’s great. Great for all of us. Great for moral. Great to set up the next generation to believe in themselves that they can do it too. ‘

For the Canadian actress Matten, who is Red River Métis and Cree, the strong presence of indigenous voices was ‘nothing new for me’.
“I think it is more interesting enough for the United States, but you know, my whole life I grew up with a native network, native storytellers, native executive producers, directors, writers,” said Matten, mats, who plays the former tribal police officer and now border pattery and sacrigto,, told,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, -tender -to -down -to -tagto -ingerto -vertia -ingerto -ergtael -ergtael -ergtatragy -ingerto -ergtatragy -ingerto -ingerto -ingerto -vertoo -ergtacier -ingerto -batch -ramp -ingerto -ingerto -beam -ignis -verto -litette -tatramelito -beam -tattoo -tatradette -Bahartito -Bahartito “That is nothing new in my world, but again, it is really cool to help lead the package to be in that generation and to introduce that in the United States and also worldwide.”
Fans around the world have embraced the series, with a producing team that also includes Robert Redford, George RR Martin and Cheyenne-Arapaho filmmaker Chris Eyre. The show has since put forward actors who are guest rings and make fun cameies in season 3.
“We’re crazy,” Gordon exclaimed. “Bruce Greenwood, Terry Serpico, alone these great players who came to play.”
The Hualapai actor said it met Elfman he was most enthusiastic about.
“I don’t know why I put people on pedestals, but I put people on pedestals and she is one of those people,” he said. “It’s just intimidating when you meet someone for the first time that you think you’re close to you, and in reality you are not really. But in a sense you are that, and we all do the same. “
De Cast hopes that fans of the series will appreciate the “Universal Themes of Family and Community” in season 3, said McClarnon.
In favor of the show as a way to “share our stories” and “to create more understanding in the world, Matten said that this season” might be our best season “.
As for the coming season 4, Gordon said: “I feel great, I feel grateful. It is nice to have a collective sigh of relief of the cast and crew to know that we will work again and see each other and not bring these characters to bed yet.”
Although the series will return, this does not mean that the stars have not thought of keeping some of them for themselves-especially in view of the clothing of the 70s style and set pieces.
“So legal, we can’t hire anything because we have to keep it if there is another season,” said Matten. “I think I would like to take one of the Bernie tops, just like one of our typical tribal. That would be cool. “
“Oh, I took a few things home. I can’t say what, because I will get into trouble. They want them back, “said McClarnon. “I actually took a hat from last season, a straw hat that I really liked. And I have to take it back this season in case Joe has to wear it again. “
For Gordon, in addition to the adapted suits that Chee wears, he said he “saves my money” to buy the “American muscle car” that can be seen in the show.
“It would be very nice to have one,” he said. “If things went well.”
