#windy diversity

justinj_cortez Just some of the amazing Natives who make it possible for us to tell this story. Much love to everyone working on this project and for the respect you all have for this land we get to walk and work on #indigenouspeoplesday

@matt_barr_ In honor of Indigenous Peoples’ Day, my brother @justinj_cortez introduces us to some of the Native cast and crew members of @thecwwalkerindependence who make it possible and authentic to tell this story.

Justin, Matt, and Kat posting the above featurette for Indigenous Peoples Day!

I'm so glad we get to see the work that goes in to making sure the Indigenous stories are told accurately and respectfully!

This article contains quotes that have been covered in other articles, but this one contains a new one from Philemon that's incredibly heartwarming!

I love this and I really hope that the new owners of the CW continue to welcome authentic diversity!

Not only that, but I imagine it took a lot of guts in his initial read/audition, when asked if he spoke the native language, to let the producers know that not many natives do because it wasn't passed down to them and to then ask the producers in his initial read to be respectful and compassionate with whoever they cast.
