First, she tapped Kelly Lynne D'Angelo, a Tuscarora writer and a professional Dungeon Master in Dungeons and Dragons, for "building the magic." Next, Valencia assembled a writers' room that included Cowlitz writer Joey Clift, Choctaw writer Shelley Dennis, Athabascan writer Carlee Malemute, Oglala Lakota writer Lucas Brown Eyes, and more.
"That's when they go to school and kids make fun of them, and [they'd] cut it off just because they felt the pressure to conform," says Valencia. The Skycedar parents come from two different communities: the Cowlitz tribe and the Chumash tribe. Valencia says it was important to display stories not only from her own tribe but also others to show that Indigenous peoples are not a monolith. I find that it also shows how an Indigneous family can come from different communities, which I often don't see reflected in storytelling.
