Will Thorne Staff WriterABC and its new drama “Big Sky” are being called out by multiple tribal nations and Indigenous leaders for an “incomplete depiction of violence against women and girls.”Following a letter last week addressed to ABC Entertainment president Karey Burke and series creator David E.

Kelley among others, the Great Plains Tribal Chairmen’s Association and the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs have added their voices to the chorus of criticisms.The series, based on the 2013 novel “The Highway” by C.J.

Box, is set in Montana and centers around abductions that occur at truck stops. The Indigenous groups are accusing the series of “at best, cultural insensitivity, and at worst, appropriation” due to being set in area.
