So after all the posts I've read here I had to read the script for myself. My thoughts are a bit jumbled at the moment after just reading the episode, but I have a feeling that I would be able to watch this episode without getting too upset over the misrepresentations. My parents? Who are Haudenosaunee (traditional longhouse people) would have issues with some of the events. The body of Gentlefeather in the wigwam for the most part unattended and be so accessible that Jaye can just walk in and stumble over her would not go over well with them.

As for the DropSquadWhiteyHating!BornAgainEducatedIndian stereotype, that trope does not seem to be played out often in American media. I have no idea why, however it is often played out in Canadian TV. From what I have read, Diana actually did seem to have the makings of a good leader. It just seems like she just needed some direction and new priorities. How was she portrayed in the episode?

Supposedly all the headdress and wardrobe were gleaned from Iroquois tradition.

Since I haven't seen the episode the word "headdress" leads me to believe that it was more POW wow costuming than any traditional Gustoweh.

Some slight nitpicking now. Didn't Mahandra reveal in "Muffin Buffalo" that she was Seneca and not Satsuma?

Eric: \"Heidi said I shouldn\'t open my mouth to strangers.\" Jaye: \"Ironic...\"

Yes. She said she was 3% Seneca.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I succumbed.

I saw the face of a million miracles.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh! Meanie!

Would you have lasted this long?

The finale is "Caged Bird" correct? The one with the hostage taking? (At least according to the last spoiler I read).

You totally suck.

We'll never know, will we?

oh, Allyson. I'm surprised! you were so resilient. I totally wouldn't have lasted that long.

I was fine when existence had no meaning. Meaninglessness in a universe that has no meaning -- that I get. But meaninglessness in a universe with meaning? What does that mean?

I sure as hell wouldn't have lasted that long.

So... am I the only one who wants to know what happens?

(Actually, I'm torn. I sort of want to know, and I've read all the episodes leading up to it... but part of me still wants the ending to be a surprise when I actually see it.)
