The Reservation Dogs star talks writing a personal episode of the series
Photo: Amanda Edwards/Getty Images If you haven’t heard of Devery Jacobs yet, it’s only a matter of time before you start seeing her everywhere. Born and raised in the Kahnawà:ke Mohawk Territory in Quebec, the 29-year-old actress has landed recurring roles in shows like American Gods, The Order, and Rutherford Falls, and worked both in front of and behind the camera in the Canadian independent-film scene for the past decade.
I think that — and I’m by no means upset about it — it really started when I played my first leading role in a feature film, titled Rhymes for Young Ghouls. That was the first time I played an Indigenous character directed and written by an Indigenous filmmaker, so that was the first experience where I really recognized the character, and recognized my mom, my community, and family members in the film. It was a career-defining moment for me.
During the first season, I was annoying enough and asked questions about the character, sharing my thoughts on Elora’s journey that I hoped resonated with Sterlin, and it seems that they did. I was prepared to get all my writing samples together; I was prepared to plead my case. When I approached Sterlin, he actually just invited me into the writers’ room, and I realized I didn’t have to fight to the death for it.
It is definitely a different industry now than it was during that time. I think that had Rhymes for Young Ghouls come out in 2022, it would have been a very different story, and it would have had a much wider impact.
