DarkWinds may focus on Zahn McClarnon's detective, but it also shines a multidimensional light on Native women.
Dark Winds, AMC +'s hit adaptation of the novels of Tony Hillerman, features Zahn McClarnon as Joe Leaphorn, one of just a few tribal police officers working on a large Navajo reservation in the 1970s. He's assisted in this daunting role by fellow Navajo officers Bernadette Manuelito , and Jim Chee , the former of whom is embedded by the FBI.
Viewers are privy to the institutional indifference to Anna Atcitty's fate in Episodes 1 and 2, when Leaphorn has to fight for her death to be taken seriously. Grappling with his own sense of responsibility for Anna, a friend of his late son's, he soon clashes with Whitover , a white FBI agent investigating an earlier armed robbery on the reservation.
