'Reservation Dogs' star D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai delivers symbolic message at Emmys with a red hand on face

<h2>This red handprint symbolized the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) movement.</h2>

D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai made a powerful statement at the 2024 Emmys. The &lsquo;Reservation Dogs&rsquo; star attended the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards on September 15 in Los Angeles, California, wearing an Emporio Armani tuxedo, Thundercloud jewelry, and a red handprint over his mouth.
The handprint symbolized the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) movement.
As explained by Native Hope, the red handprint represents &lsquo;all the missing sisters whose voices remain unheard,&rsquo; highlighting the media and law enforcement's silence on this crisis.
It also symbolizes &lsquo;the oppression and subjugation of Native women, who are now standing up to declare #NoMoreStolenSisters.&rsquo;
The organization was founded to tackle the widespread injustices in Indigenous communities. A 2019 Justice Department report found that women on reservations are 10 times more likely to be murdered compared to the national average.
Woon-A-Tai, who is Oji-Cree First Nations and Guyanese, earned his first Emmy nomination for his portrayal of Bear Smallhill on Reservation Dogs, Hulu&rsquo;s critically acclaimed comedy-drama, which concluded after its fourth season.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai reflected on his connection to his Reservation Dogs character from his first audition.
&lsquo;The writers' room was entirely Indigenous, and they wanted to tell their own stories, which, in turn, told the stories of many other Native kids, including me,&rsquo; he shared.
&lsquo;I immediately related to Bear and saw similarities within myself, my cousins, nephews, and friends,&rsquo; he continued.
He added, &lsquo;There are a lot of Bears in the world, especially in what we call Indian Country, just like there are Willie Jacks, Elora Danans, and Cheeses everywhere.&rsquo;
In a May interview with Elle, Woon-A-Tai expressed pride in being part of a generation of Native American creatives pushing boundaries and taking the lead in telling their communities' stories.
&lsquo;We're moving towards a time where we no longer need others to tell our stories,&rsquo; he said.
&lsquo;In my opinion, if you're creating a story about Native people, it's essential to have a Native director, writer, and casting director,&rsquo; he added.
The three-hour Emmy ceremony takes place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, with a live broadcast on ABC and streaming on Hulu the following day. Eugene and Dan Levy hosted the event.
