## Resource

Meegwun Fairbrother (Ojibwe) plays William Mitchell on Netflix's remake of Little House on the Prairie (out now!). He shares about growing up on the land, learning resilience, mentoring young people, and the one time he had to make his own costume as a struggling actor starting out in the industry. Meegwun tells JD how he decides what kind of Indigenous roles he will go up for, how hard it is not being called back again for roles you loved, and celebrating each other's wins when they do happen — the right role will come to you when the time is right! TRANSCRIPT Available on the Actors and Ancestors website. CREDITS Actors & Ancestors is created, produced, and hosted by Joel D. Montgrand . Editing and production support from Daniella Barreto.
