Bear makes an unlikely ally in Deer Lady.
Before we start the recap in earnest, a quick note that we’ll be touching on the episode’s depictions of Residential/Boarding School abduction and abuse. By now, we know thathas never shied away from tackling tough topics within NDN Country, and this week’s episode is no exception. We are again brutally reminded that Daniel’s ghost isn’t the only Native spirit haunting the Oklahoma countryside.
Over the course of the episode, we are shown, through flashback, the origins of the Deer Lady. See, Deer Lady wasn’t always born a supernatural force for good; she was made into one . At first, she was just a scared little girl who had been snatched up from her home and sent far away to a church-run school.
One night, Young Deer Lady is awoken by the screams of her new friend: he’s being dragged out of the dormitory by a group of nuns. Young Deer Lady follows behind and sees her friend taken to a room where several nuns and Mr. Minor are present. We hear shouting, but the exact purpose of this place is never made clear, although it is heavily implied that some form of serious abuse, possibly even sexual abuse, is taking place behind that door.
Meanwhile, Deer Lady is on the hunt. An old man opens the door and invites her inside the house. It’s Mr. Minor. He sits down at a table covered in photographs and tells Deer Lady that he’s been “nostalgic” about the past. The ensuing scene shows that Minor has been unable to recognize the devastation he’s caused, as he tells Deer Lady that the pictures he’s looking at are the only real legacy he’s left behind .
