Native Americans accounted for “virtually zero ” jobholders in the industry in pre-2020 TV seasons.

Reservation Dogs is the second Native -focused show to recently sign off from streamers.

Study: Native-led shows delve deeper into issues that most viewers aren’t exposed to on TV.

The study points to some improvements in representation, but there is still more work to do, Giaccardi said.

Even though two groundbreaking Native -led shows have come to an end, she doesn't think it signals the end altogether.

“There’s also a lot of hope that this is just the start of something even bigger and better.”.
