Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Piper Perabo was asked if there were any real-life issues tackled by “Yellowstone” that she thought were especially meaningful. The actor was quick to point out how important she thinks the representation of indigenous people and groups is in the series.
“Native American representation. I know it’s really important to Taylor and Mo, who plays Mo, the right-hand to Gil Birmingham’s character,” Perabo said. “He is also the liaison between tribes and the show, and the show takes that really seriously.” The fact that “Yellowstone” has people in these pivotal roles is already a step in the right direction, meaning that the cast and crew definitely take these matters to heart.
Perabo also pointed out the small details that are included in the series as reference points for how important these issues are when speaking on a recent scene concerning a pipeline. “It’s not just American flags behind them; there are tribal flags behind them as well,” Perabo went on. “I think the show has a real awareness of [the] diversity of tribes and tribal issues in the United States, and I think that’s really cool.” Since “Yellowstone” creator Taylor Sheridan has also written the film “Wind River,” which deals heavily with indigenous culture, it would seem that it’s no accident that his shows take these issues so seriously.
