Along with the Dutton family working to save their ranch on Yellowstone, the people of Broken Rock Reservation are also trying to preserve and protect their land. Leading them are Chief Thomas Rainwater and his right-hand man, Mo, who are played by Gil Birmingham and Mo Brings Plenty, respectively. So, when I had the chance to speak with the Rainwater actor about the final episodes of Yellowstone’s fifth season, I asked him about his friendship with Mo. In response, he told me why he loves it and why it’s important for Indigenous representation on TV.
