Aminah Nieves, the breakout star of Paramount’s 1923, brought the house to its feet — and to tears — at the 2025 IndieWire Honors, where she was awarded this year’s Breakthrough Performance Award. Nieves, who plays Teonna Rainwater in the acclaimed Yellowstone prequel, delivered a raw, emotional acceptance speech that celebrated not only her milestone moment, but the memory of her late co-star, Cole Brings Plenty.

The award recognizes Nieves’ gut-wrenching performance as a young Apsáalooke woman escaping the brutal reality of a Catholic boarding school — a storyline that has become one of the most talked-about and socially relevant arcs in the Yellowstone franchise. But on the stage at IndieWire’s Hollywood event, Nieves shifted the spotlight to her collaborators, and most movingly, to a friend gone far too soon. It was the tribute to Cole Brings Plenty — who portrayed Pete Plenty Clouds in 1923 — that struck the most powerful chord.

Ahead: “1923” American Indian Affairs Coordinator Mo Brings Plenty, also a star on “Yellowstone,” tells IndieWire about the impact that Breakthrough Award winner Aminah Nieves has had on telling a crucial story about the government-sanctioned boarding schools that tried to destroy Indigenous culture — and about the moving bond she had with his nephew, the late “1923” actor Cole Brings Plenty.

As told to Christian Blauvelt. The following has been edited and condensed for clarity.

[This story contains major spoilers from the penultimate episode of 1923 season two, “The Mountain Teeth of Monsters.”]

The penultimate season two episode of 1923 delivered death after death. A whopping seven bodies were left in wake of the sixth episode from creator Taylor Sheridan, titled “The Mountain Teeth of Monsters.” Everything that happened will barrel the Western saga into what is sure to be a propulsive season finale, but let’s stop for a moment and mourn what was lost.

Michael Spears has been playing Runs His Horse for two seasons on the Yellowstone prequel series, with Jeremy Gauna inheriting his role as Pete Plenty Clouds after the untimely death of original star Cole Brings Plenty. Cole died about two months after the season one finale released. (A cause of death was not revealed.) Cole was the nephew of Mo Brings Plenty, the American Indian affairs coordinator on both 1923 and Yellowstone, playing Mo, the right-hand man to Chief Thomas Rainwater (played by Gil Birmingham), who is a future...

Television titan Taylor Sheridan has undeniably become one of the most prominent and exciting talents on the small screen, with the Yellowstone creator, writer, director, and producer further capitalizing on the massive success of the streaming juggernaut by crafting captivating prequels and sequels revolving around the beloved Dutton clan. In 2022, Sheridan enlisted Hollywood greats Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren to star in his Western drama series 1923, a sequel to the original hit that focused on Jacob and Cara Dutton as they fight to keep their sprawling ranch afloat while being faced with countless threats of all shapes and sizes.

Featuring the additional talents of actors like Brandon Sklenar, Julia Schlaepfer, and Timothy Dalton, 1923 unsurprisingly proved to be a knockout with passionate audiences, with its debut episode attracting 7.4 million viewers and becoming Paramount+'s largest debut ever. 27-year-old Cole Brings Plenty appeared as sheepherder Pete Plenty Clouds in the first season of the acclaimed hit,...

Aminah Nieves and Cole Brings Plenty had ended the first season of 1923 with new opportunities for their characters, Teonna Rainwater and Pete Plenty Clouds, and their blossoming love story.

The first season of the hit Yellowstone prequel series was a breakout one for Nieves as it tracked her Indigenous character, Teonna, and her epic journey escaping a 1923-set Indian assimilation boarding school run by the Catholic Church where she was abused.

After everything she endured, the season ended with her reuniting with her father (played by Michael Spears) and beginning to fall in love with the son of the man who helped save her, Pete Plenty Clouds (played by the late Cole Brings Plenty). Her final scene featured the three of them riding off to Wyoming in hopes of escaping the priest (Sebastian Roché) and other men who are now hunting her in season two, which returned after two years on Sunday.

The Season 2 premiere of1923 paid tribute to the late Cole Brings Plenty, who made his acting debut portraying Pete Plenty Clouds in the first season of the critically acclaimed Yellowstone spin-off. A photo of the actor dressed in costume as his character was displayed on a sepia-toned "In Memoriam" title card at the beginning of the episode (as seen below).

Brings Plenty was found dead in April 2024 at the age of 27. Reports at the time indicated that the actor had gone missing after being sought by police in connection to an alleged domestic violence incident. The actor's uncle, Mo Brings Plenty, who plays fan-favorite character Mo in Paramount's hit drama Yellowstone, later shared a statement from Brings Plenty's father, Joe, on Instagram, confirming his son's death while also expressing gratitude for everyone's "prayers and positive thoughts" during the search for his offspring.

After appearing in the first season of 1923, the Yellowstone prequel series, actor Cole Bring Plenty passed away. Found dead in April 2024, he was just 27 years old. His role was recast for Season 2 of the series, though the late actor was honored at the start of the new season.

Brings Plenty, the nephew of Yellowstone actor Mo Brings Plenty, played the role of Pete Plenty Clouds in 1923 Season 1. Initially, it was reported that Brings Plenty had gone missing, and family members had taken to social media to ask for help with finding him. Soon after, law enforcement officials announced that he had been found deceased. His cause of death was never stated.

How much money would it really take to save a ranch like one on “Yellowstone”? If you believe Beth (Kelly Reilly), the Dutton clan owes the government something like hundreds of millions of dollars in estate taxes following their father’s death, something that doesn’t seem like it can be right but also might be, because who really understands the tax code anyway? Either way, the Yellowstone’s in hot water, and the Duttons are having a fire sale.

That’s really the crux of this week’s episode, “Give The World Away.” The Duttons are selling basically everything not nailed down at the ranch, from $3 million horses bought by sucker Brazilians to chuck wagons and tractors. Cattle ranching, it seems, relies on a precarious mountain of loans and financial bets and one slight twist, one wrong move — brucellosis in a field or the death of the governor/ranch owner,...

Yellowstone is a neo-western thriller drama series created by Taylor Sheridan and John Linson. The Paramount Network series follows the story of the Dutton family, who own the largest ranch in America as they deal with internal and external problems to protect their property and keep the family together.

In Hollywood, the portrayal of Native American stories has long been a subject of scrutiny when depicted through the lens of non-Native creators. Such is the case with filmmaker Taylor Sheridan, known for his work on projects like the Yellowstone prequels 1883 and 1923, as well as the 2017 film Wind River. As a white man, Sheridan has faced criticism for his handling of these narratives, accused of appropriating and misrepresenting Native American experiences.

Mo Brings Plenty, an actor who has worked closely with Sheridan on his projects, has stepped forward with a behind-the-scenes perspective that challenges prevailing criticisms. In this narrative, Brings Plenty sheds light on Sheridan’s approach to storytelling, presenting a counterpoint to the existing critiques.

Lawmen: Bass Reeves is the latest iteration in the Western revival that is happening at Paramount+, where series like Yellowstone, 1883, and 1923 have amassed swaths of viewers thanks to the dramatic vision of Taylor Sheridan.
