‘Reservation Dogs’ Star D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai on the Show’s ‘Bittersweet’ End, Telling Accurate Native Stories and Hopes for Bear’s Future
‘Reservation Dogs’ Star D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai opens up about native storytelling, wrapping the show and hoping to see Bear again.
One of those nominations went to D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, the 22-year-old Canadian actor who plays protagonist Bear, a member of the namesake crew of Native teens in Okern, Oklahoma. Bear begins the series devastated by the recent suicide of his best friend, Daniel (Dalton Cramer), and schemes with the rest of the Dogs to abandon their home for California. He ends the show with the blessing of his dubiously qualified spirit guide, William Knifeman (Dallas Goldtooth), at peace with himself and appreciative of his community.
