My next video will be about the show Yellowstone (and its place in the broader right wing pivot by Paramount and CBS). If you haven't seen the show, think of it as Succession but with lazier writing and loads of faux-populist politics.
Liza Black is an Associate Professor of History and of Native American and Indigenous Studies at the University of Indiana, as well as a citizen of Cherokee Nation.
I reached out to her after reading this excellent (and scathing) review to talk about the show's politics and relationship to indigenous people—who have a tense history with creator Taylor Sheridan and star Kevin Costner.
Our full conversation was much longer than this, just not all on the record (and about other topics) so apologies if it's a little more free flowing than previous interviews!
