The Year in Pop Culture[/sub[ This year we said goodbye to Reservation Dogs but welcomed a trailblazing new Native character in the Marvel franchise.

A talented actress brought a tragic tale of greed and murder on the Osage Nation to the big screen, and a poignant coming of age story set on the Navajo Nation is a streaming darling.

Tune in as Native America Calling recalls the highlights of the Native stories that connected with audiences in 2023.

RESERVATION DOGS — “The Curse” – Episode 201 — As the town recovers from the tornado aftermath, Willie Jack tries to reverse a curse. Written by Sterlin Harjo, Dallas Goldtooth and Ryan RedCorn; Directed by Sterlin Harjo. Jackie (Elva Guerra) and Elora Danan (Devery Jacobs), shown. Photo credit: Shane Brown / FX
