    It makes so much sense to hear that she transformed the character and does a lot of improv. The entire cast is amazing, but I'm always most engaged when the Willie character is there. She feels 100% real.

    Definitely is my favorite show on Hulu right now. I'm not Native American, I'm Mexican, but we're kinda the same people:) I love Paulinas voice. She's for sure got swag and her own style. The show wouldn't be the same without her. ❤

    "We have the best stories to tell" This one really hit me, because it is true and we want to listen and watch them in other countries of the Earth. We in Euorope know so little about Native Americans and there are minorities who might struggle with sililar problems to keep our nation and culture vivid and hand over as heritage to the next generation. So I felt so deep compassion while watching Reservation Dogs because here we meet similar problems, we dont even have reservation to live at least semi-authonomous life. One of our biggest problem is as Hungarians living teared from our Motherland is to avoid assimilation, the silent genocide and of course to sustain a normal life among the majority nation who are totally different and lot of who look at us even 100 years after the Trianon dictate as an enemy.

    Reservation Dogs is a great show. Hopefully as word spreads about how great it is, we will see at least guest appearances with actors such as Adam Beech, Graham Greene, and Tantoo Cardinal. Hats off to Sterling and the rest of the writing/production crew for allowing the actors/actresses to "ad-lib". They've got a really good show and it's only getting better as the cast gets more comfortable in their rolls and working with everyone else. Look forward to season 3 and more! And for the younger generation (of ALL people)...listen to your elders, for when they are gone, any history/lessons they have not passed down, are gone...forever!

    • @VanisleGirl1961
      @VanisleGirl1961 Před 7 měsíci

      I agree Adam Beech et al, are amazing actors but we only as natives see those same actors, we have had so few role models to look up to as far as actors. Rez Dogs is phenomenal in that finally we have a representation. All the actors are incredible in this. Willi jack character is my favourite but I become enamored of all the actors every episode. What a great show....

    Very interesting interview, and congratulations on your success. Paulina may not understand that her predecessors did give much to opening up the eyes of people who are not indigenous. By making them realize the talent among the first Nations community/ people. I totally agree with Paulina that the mainstream movies very much under represent first nations people for being cast as extras.
