Tatanka Means: Playing Hobbamock | Saints & Strangers

[Music] Habam Mok is the fierce warrior of the Pona kit and a right-hand man to Masasu. It's really, you know, it's an honor to play, uh, somebody in history that, you know, made a profound difference, and he definitely did. I think of the beginning he wasn't totally an anti-Pilgrim, but he was more weary for his tribe. You know, he wants the safety of his people.

After he moves into the village, into the colony, he becomes a part of the community almost. And, uh, I think he embraces that. I totally can relate to Habam. He's a family man. He's a hard ass, you know. He's hard, but he's also a family man, and I can definitely relate to that. You know, you want to be strong for your community, for your people, but you know, at home when the door closes, you're warm. You know, you're open to your family. Your family sees another side of you that nobody else does.

[Music] Does Kia Kia? Habam, he moves, he moves in on the Pilgrims. Masasu sends him in to watch Squanto, to watch, uh, Squanto and his moves and what he's doing. You know, to see if he's telling the truth. So he moves in with his wife and his family, and they establish, you know, a relationship with the Pilgrims. This is real. This is history. These were actual people. This tribe actually existed.

That's what I want people to take away is that, you know, we weren't decimated. We're still surviving. Our language is still surviving. That's the beautiful thing about this project.
