Dark Winds is a thriller series airing on AMC, starring Zahn McClarnon and Kiowa Gordon and produced by Robert Redford and George R. R. Martin. Created by Graham Roland, it is an adaptation of the Leaphorn & Chee novels by Tony Hillerman.The first season, which aired in 2022, is based on the novel Listening Woman. When a witness to an armed robbery is found dead on a Navajo reservation, FBI Agent Jim Chee is deployed to investigate, and is reluctantly paired with local officer Joe Leaphorn.In 2023, a second season was released, this time based on People of Darkness. Some time after the events of the first season, Leaphorn and Manuelito continue to work together, while Chee has left the FBI to become a private investigator. When a car bomb kills cancer patient Emerson Charley and injures Emma Leaphorn, Joe and Manuelito are drawn into the orbit of the People of Darkness, a strange cult that is somehow tied to Joe's dead son. Meanwhile, Chee has been hired by a wealthy wife to recover a box... which also happens to be connected to the People of Darkness. | |

| Dark Winds / int_10a6623b | comment |
Fair Cop: Manuelito is a Navajo police officer, Chee an FBI Agent. Both are quite good-looking. Whitover later asks if anyone's told Manuelito she's too beautiful to be a cop, to which she says everyone has. | |

Framing the Guilty Party: In order to cover up Guy shooting Whitover in cold blood, Chee and Manuelito drag Whitover's body into the cave and place it near Nakai's, while taking Guy's rifle and putting it in Nakai's hands, making it look like Nakai and Whitover shot each other. | |

Hiding Behind the Language Barrier: Emma speaks in Diné with Sally while she's getting an exam at the Indian Health Service clinic by a white doctor. Both of them actually speak fluent English-this is a way Emma has to warn Sally against giving birth there, as if she does the doctor would illegally sterilize her afterward, which Emma herself suffered after having her son. Chee later warns Manuelito about Whitover being dirty over the radio in Diné too, which he can't understand. | |

Pragmatic Adaptation | |
| Dark Winds / int_603f1a80 | comment |
Pragmatic Adaptation: In the books a lot of the narrative is simply characters (mainly Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee) thinking about things while they are on very long drives across the vast Navajo reservation. In the series they put the three main protagonists of the books in the same setting and a lot of the drive time is spent with them talking. | |

Badass Native: Most of the cast are Navajo, while the tribal police are the series' main characters. Leaphorn, Chee and Manuelito, are all tough, competent Navajo cops. On the antagonist side we get people such as Frank Nakia in Season 1, a Navajo and decorated Vietnam veteran who has become a skilled criminal. | |

Adaptational Early Appearance: Chee didn't appear until People of Darkness, the fourth novel in the overall series and didn't team up with Leaphorn until Skinwalkers, the seventh. Bernadette Manuelito was not introduced in the books until Spider Woman's Daughter in 2013, and never really served alongside Leaphorn, as he was left disabled in Daughter, but in this series, she serves alongside both Leaphorn and Chee on their first case together. | |

Outliving One's Offspring: Joe and Emma Leaphorn lost Joe Jr., their son, several years before the series starts. Both are still mourning him. It's particularly poignant as he was their only child due to Emma's being sterilizated illegally after she had delivered him. Anna's parents lose her in the pilot when she's murdered. Guy, her father, later apologizes tearfully to Joe Leaphorn for not knowing the pain he was suffering over the loss of his son, saying he does now after Anna died. | |

Never My Fault: Guy's hatred for Leaphorn stems from this. When the two got into a fight (that Guy had instigated), Guy tried to attack Leaphorn with an axe even though Leaphorn had stood down by that point and Leaphorn shot him the leg in self-defense. Guy of course acts like Leaphorn attacked him unprovoked and treats him like a monster for it. He finally owns up to his behavior in the penultimate episode. | |

Deliberate Values Dissonance | |
| Dark Winds / int_aabe2fb | comment |
Deliberate Values Dissonance: The series explores the racial tensions between white people and Navajo in the 1970s, with the FBI and the Navajo Police working at cross-purposes to each other, to the extent that Jim Chee is sent undercover because his superiors at the FBI don't trust Joe Leaphorn to properly investigate their case. A subplot in season 2 involves a white reporter investigating rumors that native women are being sterilized under the Family Planning Act. This brings her into conflict with Emma, whose efforts to prevent the sterilization of other native women means that she's also steering those women away from modern contraception. While Emma insists that her actions are preserving native women's right to choose whether or not to have a baby, Sally calls her out on this, pointing out that because of her, she's stuck with a baby that she never wanted, and her reproductive options are still effectively limited, because she can't stomach the thought of getting pregnant again and few men are going to want to raise someone else's kid. | |

Adaptational Backstory Change: The show's version of Jim Chee was taken out of the reservation at an early age, and grew up in the white man's world. Much of the novels' Chee's conflicts came from his desire to live a traditional Navajo life and become a medicine man. The latter trait is carried over, as Jim recognizes ritual artifacts at a crime scene. | |

Action Girl | |
| Dark Winds / int_dae5c997 | comment |
Action Girl: Bernadette Manuelito is one of Leaphorn's officers. She's equally tough as him and Chee, her male colleagues, coming to rescue them when they get in a fix during Season 1. Manuelito uses her gun very skillfully on the show. | |

Wicked Witch | |
| Dark Winds / int_dd3d1f69 | comment |
Wicked Witch: Ada is a witch with a lot of the traits, though Navajo like most of the characters. She is rather unattractive, wears a black dress, lives off by herself with her daughter and uses her magic to harm others for her evil comrades, usually by something from them like hair. | |

Protective Charm: Manuelito does some kind of ritual that wards off evil after Ada had tried to harm her with magic. She also tells Chee about having her medicine bundle at all times on patrol for this purpose as well, advising that he should go get one for himself. | |

Magic Realism | |
| Dark Winds / int_e6ab61d | comment |
Magic Realism: The series is set in the early 1970s on a Navajo reservation, with mostly ordinary things going on. However, in keeping with Navajo belief there is actual magic too, as one character is a witch who's capable of harming people using it. | |

The Mole: Chee was sent by the FBI to infiltrate the Navajo Police and gather intelligence about an armed robbery, as his superior does not trust them to cooperate with the feds, but Leaphorn quickly pegs him as a fed and convinces him to instead use his FBI connections to help Leaphorn solve a local double homicide. | |

The '70s: The show starts in 1971 on a Navajo reservation. Period events like the Vietname War, the conflict which Native Americans have with the US government over various things, and some white doctors in the Indian Health Service secretly sterilizing Native women all play a part. | |
