In celebration of Native American Heritage Month, and on the heels of the critically acclaimed series finale of FX’s award-winning series “Reservation Dogs,” Hulu has engaged Anishinaabe artist Blake Angeconeb to create artwork embodying the spirit of the show.
The artwork can be seen in a variety of placements throughout the month, according to a news release.
The release said Angeconeb’s moving piece will be on display as a one-of-a-kind mural painting through Dec. 4 at the First Americans Museum in Oklahoma City. “Reservation Dogs” featured an all-Indigenous cast and creative team.
Nothing to do with the college athletic conference, the north Tulsa venue has hosted Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, Ike and Tina Turner, The Temptations, Jackie Wilson, James Brown, Ray Charles, Duke Ellington, Little Richard and Etta James.
Fans will also be able to see the artwork on Hulu’s social channels, as well as in limited edition “wild postings” in Los Angeles and Seattle, where fans can tear away commemorative copies to take home for themselves.

“This mural is meant to acknowledge the journey that the main characters went on over the show’s three seasons, and all the youth they’ve inspired across Turtle Island,” the artist said.
“It is done in my traditional Anishinaabe woodlands art style, which is used to tell stories, but with a contemporary twist. The four main friends are depicted as Thunderbirds, often considered the most powerful entities, representing strength and protection, with their friend Daniel watching over them. I named my piece ‘Young Warriorz’ because I wanted to honor how groundbreaking ‘Reservation Dogs’ was for Indigenous representation, and how important it was for me personally to see my community and culture portrayed on screen.”
The release said there are several Easter eggs from the show woven into the artwork.
