In typicalDark Windsfashion , season 3 began with a climactic prospect of Joe Leaphorn being attack by a fiend anticipate the Ye’iitsoh . Later in the episode , Joe also had some visions of the Ye’iitsoh that seemed to disappear as soon as Emma ( Deanna Allison ) send for to him . Joe ’s visions and encounter with the Ye’iitsoh are likely due to a combination of his guilt feelings over effectively kill BJ Vines inDark Windsseason 2 and some actual forged medical specialty . It ’s too early to tell for sure , but givenDark Winds ' deep link to Navajo medicine , there are likely some supernatural element at turn .
AMC ’s Dark Winds has gain a report as an under - the - radar gem , and season 3 stay the harrowing escapade of Leaphorn and Chee .
I , admittedly , do not have it away much about Navajo culture or their beliefs , but I will sample to explicate the Ye’iitsoh . As the statute title of the premiere ofDark Windsseason 3 rather succinctly explains , Ye’iitsoh is a big monster in Navajo folklore . Ye’iitsoh threatened to drive humanity to extinction by eating them , until two brothers , Na’idigishi and Naayee ' Neizghani , slew it ( viaNavajo Division for Children and Family Services ) . As far as I am aware , there is n’t a located depiction of Ye’iitsoh , thoughDark Windshas chosen to depict it as a sort of zombie made out of twigs and dirt .
What Does The Archaeological Dig Site Have To Do With Ernesto Cata’s Disappearance?

There , they met Teddi Issacs ( Carly Roland ) , who narrate them that she and a Dr. Reynolds had hired George and Ernesto to aid them excavate Folsom fizgig point . While Teddi had n’t seen either of the boys in days , the dig situation seems to be an important part ofDark Windsseason 3 ’s mystery . flop now , there ’s no clear motif for Ernesto ’s execution other than the dig situation and the spear tip , which indicates the anthropologist have some secret that will finally be revealed .
Where Is Bernadette Going With The Pig Drawing?
Bernadette Won’t Let Go Of Her Suspicions Of Human Trafficking, So She’s Likely Trying To Figure Out What The Pig Drawing Means
Bernadette spent much of the premiere ofDark Windsseason 3 dealing with a Mixtec woman and her daughter , and she seems to have stumbled on a closed book of her own . While talk with the category , the girl handed Bernadette a drawing of a " pig " that seemed to be a scribbled circle . Though her overtop officer told her to let go of the case , Bernadette thought the mother and girl were victims of human trafficking , and she is n’t the type of person to ignore a mystery like that , so she ’s likely lead the sloven drawing to someone who can interpret it .
Bernadette , however , is a upright cop , and since she believe the Mixtec mother and girl were victims of human trafficking , she ’s croak to hound down the only Pb she has .
Part of the reason Bernadette left to link the Border Patrol is because she was n’t feeling fulfil as a Navajo constabulary officer . Unfortunately , the Border Patrol in all likelihood ca n’t fulfill her either , as Officer Henry ( Terry Serpico ) tell Bernadette in no incertain terms that their jobs terminate as soon as undocumented immigrants are acquit . Bernadette , however , is a in force bull , and since she believe the Mixtec female parent and daughter were victims of human trafficking , she ’s survive to hunt down the only lead she has . Whether that lead work her back to Leaphorn and Chee remain to be seen .

Notably , Sera also receive a spear point in Ernesto ’s mouth when they detect his body , which should point the investigation back to Dr. Reynolds , Teddi , and the archaeologic jab site . Of course , it ’s far too early to tell exactly how the jab site come to to Ernesto ’s death or who was responsible . However , the shaft point indicates that someone does n’t want the anthropologists to see the " lacking liaison " between the Folsom and Navajo peoples , or they do n’t require that finicky plot of land of terra firma to be hold culturally substantial for some reason . Only the rest ofDark Windsseason 3 will be able to say for sure .
