What were the challenges in setting the stage for the final season?

The goal had been met, and there was this sense of catharsis.

So naturally, the question would be, what comes next?

Reservation Dogs

But I also felt like this was an opportunity.

DEADLINE:How so?

DEADLINE:In that, how does that question get answered, or does it?

DEADLINE:Isnt that venturing off from its own established guidelines sort of a secret weapon ofReservation Dogs?

GOULET:Oh yes!

DEADLINE:How do you mean?

DEADLINE:OK, so how does it all end?

GOULET:(laughs) I dont know if I should say much about that.

Can I pass on that question?

DEADLINE:Indeed you could.

What are their practices, you know?

And a lot of the specificity actually comes from the landscape.

Now that the show is coming to an end, what has that experience been like for you?

GOULET:It was incredible.

He leads in a really different way, and he thought very carefully about everyone that hes gathered together.

But the experience of coming intoRez Dogswas anything but that.

It was, in fact, the opposite of that.

Its like you come into this space.

Your vision is completely honored and respected.

I think theres a real opportunity for it to feel like a global festival.

I think its going to be a strong year, in spite of the challenges obviously happening right now.

Yeah, the things Im hearing from the planning as we get closer to the festival is really exciting.

Having said that, the thing is, that this happens in the U.S., as well.

GOULET:Yes, the boarding school system was also a structural system put in place in the U.S.

The horror of that really goes to the heart of what both America and Canada were founded upon.

Its a violent history, and its a hard history to contend with.
