Jimmie Tramel called Reservation Dogs, "the most Oklahoma thing on television so far." With shot-in-Oklahoma movie "Killers of the Flower Moon" recent release, it has been a big year for Indigenous storytelling through film and TV.
Tramel and James Watts also talk about the next major media project with an Oklahoma focus, “Lawmen: Bass Reeves.” A former slave, Reeves was the first African American U.S. deputy marshal west of the Mississippi River. Reeves, who worked primarily in Oklahoma (then Indian Territory) and Arkansas, was responsible for 3,000-plus arrests and spent the twilight of his life as a police officer in Muskogee.
