I think the biggest threat for Tiona this season, honestly, is fate.

It's what's already written, and it's up to her to figure out how to navigate that.

Last season, she was in the assimilation school.

She did everything she had to do to get out of there, essentially to save everyone in the school, to save herself, to save her culture.

And that is moving into season two, where she's with her dad and she's with Pete.

to really go back into some of the ancestral history because there wasn't a lot for Thomas Rainwater in terms of his background, but

to go as far back as several generations and to establish that interconnection of legacies of both families and really fallen in within that timeline of seven generations.

I thought it was brilliant to show exactly what the challenges were for the people that were here originally and how they had to find resilience and endure that suffering to get to where we are now.

You can tell where Rainwater gets his strength and courage from and his passion for the people.

Tejlona Rainwater carries that, and you could tell that's been passed down through the generations.

It's been delightful to watch it all unfold and take a step back in time.

I think being indigenous, we do have this essence and quality that not a lot of other people know.

It's an innate thing that lives within us.

I don't even know if she could pinpoint either, because it's ancestral and it's been rippling through her for generations.

It's her being, and it's her duty to thrive.

We'll make it because we're out of people to leave behind because we're the last ones still fighting.

I mean, everywhere is America, and it is our country still.

This is Indian territory, period, point blank.

And I think she's over people deciding for us what it actually is and what it isn't.

I think she's over people abusing us and the land for their own gain.

I think for her, that was the person who brought life back into her.

Pete was the first person that really taught her out of love properly and that really opened the gates for trust for her.

So seeing the person that she fully surrendered into like that is difficult.

But we all found so much joy in doing this season and I really believe that is because Coco was with us and Coco was nothing but joy and love.

And I think we just really grounded and decided to make this the best experience for us, you know, to heal.

Life hasn't shown me many reasons to keep fighting for it.

If you don't live someday, they won't remember we're even here.

When white men concrete the whole world and the world revolts, men won't know how to live with the land and she will need some of us to teach them.

It was really powerful and I mean I have the word visceral for it because it just touches you at such a deep emotional level.

And it's wonderful that we can inform people too of a real history that was involved in this storyline that we've been telling her strength.

Truly, it's generations and generations moving through her.

It's not just her in this present moment.

She's risking everything she has for her people, for the land, to get back to everything that everyone has tried to take from us.
