Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.
The featured article for Wednesday, 22 October 2025, is Deer Lady.
"Deer Lady" is the third episode of the third season of the comedy and teen drama television series Reservation Dogs. The twenty-first episode overall, it was written by the program's showrunner and co-creator, Sterlin Harjo, and directed by Danis Goulet.
Reservation Dogs tells the story of Elora (Devery Jacobs), Bear (D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai), Cheese (Lane Factor), and Willie Jack (Paulina Alexis); a group of four friends and Indigenous teenagers who live in Oklahoma. They refer to themselves as the "Rez Dogs" and hope to eventually visit California in memory of their friend Daniel who committed suicide. Deer Lady is a recurring character in the show based on the mythological spirit, Deer Woman. In the episode, Bear, looking for his way back to Okern, Oklahoma, receives help from Deer Lady (Kaniehtiio Horn) and her backstory is explored.
Inspired by 1970s horror films and 1990s indie films, the story focuses on the history of American Indian boarding schools and makes use of the endangered Kiowa language. The production team consulted multiple subject matter experts to ensure that the topics was accurately represented. Post-production staff faced challenges in perfecting the audio as well as editing and scoring it.
The episode was first released on FX on Hulu on August 9, 2023. It received positive reviews from critics, particularly for its storytelling and use of gibberish—a nonsense form of speech spoken in the episode. It won an Art Directors Guild Award and was nominated for a Creative Arts Emmy Award and a Gold Derby Television Award.
