The main focus of the series is really about the exploitation of native people and the abuse done to them and their native land-all in the name of corporate profit.. Can we say, timely?
Contrary to the opinions of low reviewers, this series did not romanticize suicide. Viewers were obviously incapable of understanding the depth of an indigenous woman's soul, her spirituality, and the connectedness she shares with her community. Also contrary to negative reviewers, the ending DID tie up many loose ends and was actually a perfect way to exact revenge for Annie and the multiple crimes committed against this community of indigenous women. Ambiguity was necessary as some questions could not be answered, and a concrete ending would not have aligned with the truth facing native tribes and MMIW. This was *their story* that could be told to future generations.
The strong double female leads, the passionate protests led by native women, as well as the show's creators being women, probably did NOT sit well with men who are threatened by the voices of strong women and their never-ending fight for equality and sovereignty over their own bodies. An ongoing sad commentary facing Women in the (not so) "United" States.
