It took “Spirit Rangers,” a children’s Netflix show overflowing with Indigenous talent, to pair the two onscreen at the same time, albeit in animated form. The preschool series, which premiered on Indigenous Peoples Day, Oct. 10, features Studi as the Sun and Cardinal as the Moon. (They appear together in an episode about an eclipse.) “Spirit Rangers” has an all-Native American writers’ room, led by the first-time showrunner Karissa Valencia, who is half-Chumash and half-Mexican, and is executive produced by Chris Nee, the creator of “Doc McStuffins.” Each episode opens in a fictional California national park, where the Skycedar family live with their three children, Kodi, Summer and Eddie, voiced by the newcomers Wacinyeya Iwasaka Yracheta, Isis Celilo Rogers and Talon Proc Alford, respectively. The Skycedar kids have the secret ability to tap into the spirit world, where they transform via their spinning beaded medallions into a bear, a hawk and a turtle, and story lines introduce them to animals from all over the world. Grounding the series as the sibling elders Sun and Moon, Studi and Cardinal voice “the spirits that are watching over the park,” Valencia said. “How beautiful is that?” she said, explaining that the actors are “also our elders in the community, and the people who have created the path for people like us to keep coming.” [Continue reading the main story](#a11y-skip-universal-0) ADVERTISEMENT ~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlZITlP0RtaHR0cHM6Ly9saXZlaW50ZW50Lm5ld3lvcmt0aW1lc2luZm8uY29tL2NsaWNrP3M9MTc0MTQ5JmxpPVJSJm09YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcD1SUl8yMDIyMTEyNlcDbnl0QgpjgeX_gWM569CVUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~ Studi, left, and Cardinal are not only actors but also elders in their Indigenous community.Left, Andy Kropa/Invision, via Associated Press; Right, Emma Mcintyre/Getty Images Studi, who is Cherokee and based in Santa Fe, has played mostly dramatic roles over his 30-year career in films like “The Last of the Mohicans,” “Avatar” and “Heat.” Cardinal, who is Métis-Cree and based in Los Angeles, has appeared in more than 120 film and television series, including “Wind River,” “Legends of the Fall” and “Westworld,” over her 48-year career. In addition to “Spirit Rangers,” Cardinal can also be heard in Netflix’s new animated series “Oni: Thunder God’s Tale” and the film “Wendell & Wild.” She will also be in the upcoming Martin Scorsese film “Killers of the Flower Moon.” Studi stars in “A Love Song,” currently making the film festival rounds, and also appears in FX’s “Reservation Dogs” series as the eccentric artist Bucky.

These are edited excerpts from the conversation. What did it feel like to come onboard this all-Native American series? TANTOO CARDINAL I’ve been doing this work for so long, and it was always toward that place where we were writing our own stories. It’s very exciting working on a show where you don’t have to be nervous about the interpretation. So much of the work is trying to undo those misconceptions that have been put in people’s heads. It’s fun to see the creators having all this space to work, to go into their culture and their worldview and bring that forward. WES STUDI It was an opportunity not to be missed — you’ve got to be a part of it. There’s another one I know of that comes out of Alaska, “Molly of Denali,” but this one is closer to home.

The book is so searing and vivid that it’s hard to imagine its equivalent in still images. Ellison, who considered a career in photography before finding his vocation as a writer, operated in a different register when he was looking at the world through a viewfinder. His tenor was naturalistic rather than hallucinatory. A new monograph arriving next month, [“Ralph Ellison: Photographer,”](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlZITlP0TNaHR0cHM6Ly9zdGVpZGwuZGUvQm9va3MvUGhvdG9ncmFwaGVyLTAzMTkzNTQ4NTguaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD0zNyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ycl8yMDIyMTEyNiZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD03ODU3MiZubD1yYWNlJTJGcmVsYXRlZCZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTE0Mjc1JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpjgeX_gWM569CVUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) a collaboration of the Gordon Parks Foundation and the Ralph and Fanny Ellison Charitable Trust, reveals for the first time his half-century’s engagement with the camera, beginning in the 1940s. Parks and Ellison were good friends, and Parks, who was far more experienced, acted as Ellison’s photography mentor, just as Ellison guided him in writing. Working in black and white early on, Ellison later took up color Polaroids with diaristic profusion after a catastrophic fire in 1967 at his country home in Plainfield, Mass., destroyed much of the manuscript of his second, never-to-be-completed novel. Until his death in 1994, he took the Polaroids mostly from within the apartment he and his wife, Fanny, shared at 730 Riverside Drive in Hamilton Heights, in the northwest corner of Harlem. One of a potted orchid on a windowsill overlooking a blurry view of the Hudson poignantly suggests a retreat from the hurly-burly of life. But the thrust of Ellison’s black-and-white photography is documentary, much like Parks’s. He took shots of men in hats gathered in Harlem, children playing in schoolyards, a woman street preacher and laundry hanging on clotheslines above a garbage-strewn courtyard. They seem like sketches in an artist’s pad. Or, for that matter, like photos by Degas, which would come to life only when the artist, [taking a picture of a woman toweling her back as a jumping-off point](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlZITlP0TLaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2V0dHkuZWR1L2FydC9jb2xsZWN0aW9uL29iamVjdC8xMDQ1WUc_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MzcmZW1jPWVkaXRfcnJfMjAyMjExMjYmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9Nzg1NzImbmw9cmFjZSUyRnJlbGF0ZWQmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTExNDI3NSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKY4Hl_4FjOevQlVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA), compressed and simplified her form, and colored it with red and ocher to create what he saw in his mind’s eye. Fanny McConnell Ellison’s portrait of her husband, Ralph Ellison, shows him with a camera at St. Nicholas Park, New York City, in the 1940s at left. “Untitled” (New York City), right, a photograph by Ralph Ellison of a young man recalls the charismatic Tod Clifton in “Invisible Man.”The Ralph and Fanny Ellison Charitable Trust What is so revolutionary about Ellison’s novel — a milestone of American literature — is that it spins off from the mundane and ascends to an incendiary, phantasmagoric plane that reproduces the surreal world of African American life as the author experienced it. Perusing these photographs, one feels an irresistible temptation to seek prototypes for his characters. A fine portrait of a young Black man with a troubled downward gaze inevitably recalls the character of Tod Clifton, a charismatic leader who, to the narrator’s shock and disgust, descends to peddling Sambo dolls on the street. Described as “very black and very handsome” with a “square, smooth chin,” whose “head of Persian lamb’s wool had never known a straightener,” Clifton succumbs to a policeman’s bullet, leading to the apocalyptic riots in Harlem that close the book. And because Clifton falls morally before physically, what seems to be self-doubt in the photograph resonates with the fictional narrative.
