One of the main goals we have at Sylum is to add more woman, persons of color, and native/aborigines characters. Especially historical figures around the world that may not be known to a lot of people.
Pocahontas is likely a very well known Native American figure in history.
Her story has a lot of myth inside the reality, good and bad. We had debated in adding her, due to the myths/disneyfied versions of who she was. But well we don’t shy from controversy … so she was added and Mated to Immutef – most would think that was an odd chose, until you start to see how that storyline progresses.
Amber Midthunder is the Native American Actress we use to play the role in Sylum.
