“This is my walnut desk custom made by Jacob Fowler. I run the Reservation Dogs writers’ room from this desk. I like having my desk chaotic but orderly. There’s an image on my desktop of Jim Thorpe on a baseball team that my cousin/uncle owned called Harjo’s Indians. I am currently in development on an adaptation of the biography of Jim Thorpe called Path Lit by Lightning.” —STERLIN HARJO, Tulsa, Oklahoma
