I missed the announcement on Friday, but Biden declared Indigenous Peoples' Day while restoring land to some national monuments. It's great, though I wish he had replaced Columbus Day. This is a good first step.
So in belated celebration of Indigenous Peoples' Day, here's a gif from CBS's Ghosts.

This is CBS's remake of the British show. The Native American character is new for the American version. I hope he gets more fleshed out as the show goes on. The show has a diverse cast, and I read that the writing staff is diverse too, so good for them. I like that they eliminated the UK romantic poet Thomas and transferred some of his characteristics onto other characters. His continual obsession with Alison annoyed me. So I hope the American show keeps finding new storylines and humor for its characters.

I absolutely agree that thank God they got rid of the Thomas character. I had a nagging feeling that they shipped Alison / Thomas more than they shipped Alison / Mike, who was the dumb, immature, useless husband. It was especially unfortunate because Mike was a POC and made me suspect it factored into the Brits' decisions.
Glad CBS left it all out. The production had gotten funnier the more it deviated from the source material.
