Beatty took the lead in Through Black Spruce in 2018, which focuses on missing and murdered indigenous Canadian women.
Through Black Spruce is based on the 2008 novel of the same name by Joseph Boyden and resonated with Beatty personally due to her Native heritage.
Speaking about the role in 2019 to CTV Your Morning, Tanaya said: “It’s sort of overwhelming, it’s hard, it’s surreal and it’s heartbreaking because it’s something that I think has impacted our lives directly being from First Nations communities, you know people who have girls who go missing.

“It’s surreal and I also never thought they would even make a film like this that is largely supported by a Native cast.”
Along with starring in Yellowstone, Beatty has also starred in God’s Country, Crimes of the Future, and Murder at Yellowstone City.
She is next appearing in the movie Yesteryear, which is currently filming.
Given the drama her character Avery has caused in Yellowstone, the actress is likely to be back rocking the boat in season five.
