No, but the vision/spirit guide mentions how he was killed by his horse at The Battle of Little Big Horn. Presumably, since he's a spirit and his house is there, then it it's dead as well

Not overall, but in the episode where the kids find a deer as roadkill, there is a nasty scene near the end where the deer explodes on them as they try to remove it from the trunk. It's fairly graphic and gross.

A close friend of the main characters died a year before the events of the show and his death is frequently mentioned. His death and memory are the main topics in episodes 6 and 7. Episode 7 includes a lot of flashbacks to the events around his death, and shows one of the characters finding his body.

In S2, a character has dreams/nightmares where she sees and speaks to someone who has died. He mostly looks alive but in one of the dreams in S2E2 she has a flashback of finding him hanging, and you see his legs and feet floating.

S1 E3 at 22:30, when they get the deer out of the car, Uncle gags but does not vomit.

Officer Big might be shown as three-dimensional with an interesting backstory on how he became a cop, but his position as a cop isn't romanticized, with him being very bad at his job. This could still be seen as copaganda by some people, though.

s1e5, Big refers to two male white cops as 'c*cksuckers' after they leave. They were being quite racist so the anger is understandable. The white cops aren't indicated to be gay.

The main characters encounter people who stereotype, mistreat and fetishize them because they are indigenous. This is deliberate, though, not a flaw with the show.

A few teens roll up on other teens about 10 minutes into ep 1 and pull out guns, which turn out to be paintball guns, and begin shooting at the others. You see the paint hit the kids and it kinda knocks one of them out and he has a dream but nobody is hurt.
