What a great episode! Unfortunately this is what accurate Native representation looks like sometimes, suicide. While it dealt with an issue that we commonly see in our communities, it did it in a way that informs us of the circumstances that cultivate those high rates. Addiction, lack of opportunity, language loss, culture loss, poor access to adequate health care, etc. This show demonstrates that we need to talk about these things and sometimes we have to go to a non-native to talk about them.
This episode was heavy for me and for many people who saw it but it is important when controlling the narrative to tell the truth, even when it hurts!
This episode also gave Elora so much depth that we needed to see and always starve for in other shows featuring Native women. I love this show and episode. Episode 8, season finale, coming soon!
