9 Years Later, Taylor Sheridan’s Best Thriller Quote Beats Anything He Ever Did On ‘Yellowstone’

Taylor Sheridan’s 2017 film *Wind River* is presented as a more powerful work than his hit series *Yellowstone*, particularly for its portrayal of violence against Indigenous women and its insistence that the victim, Natalie, be remembered as a person. The film’s closing scene gives force to that message through a brief line about her courage.

Kelsey Asbille plays Natalie, whose death prompts an investigation led by hunter Cory, played by Jeremy Renner. The article says the film highlights the lack of reliable statistics on missing Indigenous women. After learning that Natalie ran six miles barefoot through the snow before dying, Cory tells her assailant, “That’s a warrior,” and makes him face the same ordeal.
