Here’s a new still from season 4 of Outlander featuring Cherokee and Mohawk Nations.
From Radio Times:
More than 100 First Nation Canadians have arrived in Scotland to play a number of speaking and supporting roles in Outlander season four and RadioTimes.com has your first EXCLUSIVE sneak peek at them in action.
Season four sees Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie (Sam Heughan) navigating the trials and tribulations of life in Colonial America.

The team behind the show felt that it was important to be sensitive to the historical context and be as authentic as possible when telling the story.
“Every department, from Production design to costume and hair and make-up does a huge amount of research to ensure we create a world that feels authentic to the time and place,” Outlander’s Executive Producer Matthew B Roberts said.

I can’t wait for season four to start…having read all the books, I can hardly wait to see how close everything is played out on the screen from the book! To see everything come alive….hey…is Murtugh going to appear since he was sent to the new world with the other prisoners from the prison when it shut down…especially since we, the fans, have figure out that he took the place of place of the guy who lost an arm…sorry I can’t recall his name at the moment…
As I have some Native American genetics, I would love to have more information about the Native Americans who will be in Season 4, “Drums of Autumn.” Thanks.
What a fearsome group – The first Nations people have history that goes back centuries with a huge impact on the pioneers who came to the New World. It was fascinating to read Drums of Autumn and the interaction between Jamie/Claire with their new neighbours – The Huron, the Mohawks and the Iroquois. Thank you for sharing the above.
