The plot follows Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn (McClarnon) of the Tribal Police, who is joined by his new deputy, Jim Chee (Kiowa Gordon, \u201cTwilight\u201d), as they investigate a series of crimes that initially seem unrelated \u2014 but end up connecting to Leaphorn\u2019s past.\u00a0Chee, who left the reservation to attend college and has recently returned, is an eager colleague but also has his own agenda.<\/p>\n<p>Leaphorn is savvy and competent in the field, but his personal life is in shambles after the death of his son. Together with Chee, he investigates a double murder and navigates the interfering presence of the FBI, led by smarmy Agent Whitover (Noah Emmerich), who are also interested in the case because of a high-profile bank robbery that occurred nearby \u2014 and exposing how law enforcement behaves differently when the victims are Indigenous.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Zahn-McClarnon-84.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Zahn McClarnon smiles against a while background.\" class=\"wp-image-22579174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Zahn-McClarnon-84.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Zahn-McClarnon-84.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Zahn-McClarnon-84.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Zahn McClarnon. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/amc-dark-winds-01.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Zahn McClarnon as Joe Leaphorn and Kiowa Gordon as Jim Chee, right, talk across a desk in an office in &quot;Dark Winds.&quot; \" class=\"wp-image-22583171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/amc-dark-winds-01.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/amc-dark-winds-01.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/amc-dark-winds-01.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Zahn McClarnon as Joe Leaphorn and Kiowa Gordon as Jim Chee, right, in \u201cDark Winds.\u201d <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AMC<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/amc-dark-winds-05.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Zahn McClarnon looking serious wearing a cowboy hat. \" class=\"wp-image-22583198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/amc-dark-winds-05.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/amc-dark-winds-05.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/amc-dark-winds-05.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Zahn McClarnon as Joe Leaphorn in \u201cDark Winds\u201d<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AMC<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cLike every character that I play, I bring my own life experiences [to Leaphorn],\u201d said McClarnon, who is Lakota. \u201cAfter all, yes, I\u2019m playing the character, but it\u2019s still Zahn, and I have to draw from my own personal tragedies and dysfunctional relationship. I grew up on and off the reservation. I spent a lot of time with my grandparents in Montana at the Blackfeet Reservation when I was a kid \u2014 and also in my teen\u2013 and I spent a lot of time on the Rosebud and the Oglala Pine Ridge Reservation as well. So, I drew from people I knew, tribal cops I knew \u2026 I drew from uncles that I grew up around as well, and from the tragedies that have happened to me in the past \u2013 my pain and loss of family members.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many of the production personnel on \u201cDark Winds\u201d are Native American, both in front of the camera and behind it. McClarnon said that he\u2019s seen a lot of change in how the entertainment industry tells Native American stories onscreen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s changed slowly over the past few decades, but I stand on the shoulders of my predecessors such as Will Sampson, Jay Silverheels, Chief Dan George \u2026 I think that we\u2019re finally getting to have a little more control over our stories and our narrative,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s a unique time in Native representation in TV and film.
