Showrunner Sterlin Harjo wants you to know that the characters’ lives still continue, even if the show is over.
, the main characters’ decisions, and the show’s themes of life, love, death, and community. This conversation has been condensed and edited for clarity.
Nadira Goffe: I would love to start where the episode starts: with Willie Jack visiting her aunt—Daniel’s mother, Hokti —in prison to tell her about Old Man Fixico’s passing. Hokti gives Willie Jack this really beautiful lesson, using vending machine snacks, about how community works and where death and loss fit into that. Is that a lesson that someone taught you or one that you had to find out for yourself?It’s something that I have been taught, and I’ve taught myself as well.
I think that Willie Jack is the most sensitive, and that’s sometimes hidden by her tough exterior. She’s the most sensitive to the community. She’s cared for by her family. Lots of people were there for her. She loves her friends, and she can see the value. That’s why she’s always struggling withand I don’t know how much time I have left with my parents—I’m going to stay here.
I think that we have holy people in our communities, people that are in touch with something bigger. And I think Willie Jack is that person.I think that you can see it a lot in her, especially since the final episode is centered around the funeral of Old Man Fixico, someone Willie Jack was close to. The show started with the kids grieving Daniel but not really knowing how. Now it’s ending with them grieving again, but in perhaps healthier and wiser ways.
I did. I always felt that she would be the one to leave because I think that her part in this is that she’s a person who benefited from community. People took care of her because of what happened to Cookie, her mom [who died when Elora was young]. People were there for her to take care of her. And even when she didn’t realize they were, even when she fought against it, people always had Elora’s back.
