Educational background

The actress completed their high school studies at Talihina High School in McAlester, Oklahoma. As the only Native kid at the school, they were often mistaken for Asian. However, in recent years, people have recognized them as Native American. In addition, Elva is currently an undergraduate student at Friends University in Missouri, USA.

Career history

Elva Guerra has several acting credits but is mostly recognized for playing Jackie on Reservation Dogs. The award-winning FX series follows a group of Native American teenagers living on an Oklahoma reservation. The four teens team up to commit petty crimes to try to earn enough money to leave their town behind.

Jackie was raised in the city and disliked the rural and lonely reservation. They also lost her brother, who killed himself. Their desire to return to urban living leads her to become an NDN mafia leader and even friends with her rival, Elora Danan Postoak. Their initial bond is formed during their first venture toward California.

Elva Guerra's interview with Casting Networks gave fans insights into their audition journey from Oklahoma to Los Angeles, much like their character in the show. The actor explained how they learned about the auditions, saying:

I was 16 when it all started back in 2020 and had never acted before. I saw on somebody’s Instagram story a casting search that was looking for Native teens to be in an upcoming TV show. I initially thought they were looking for background actors. So, when I showed up at the casting location, I was surprised to learn they had lines for me to read.

The actress auditioned for Elora but was assigned the character Jackie:

I was actually auditioning for Elora because the character of Jackie didn’t exist yet. I gave the best read I could using what I’d learned through a school film class, as well as what I could gather about the character. When I walked out of the audition room, I saw the hallway just filled with Native kids, and I was the only one there with dyed hair. I had the same style at the time that Jackie has in Reservation Dogs because Sterlin ended up liking it so much that he had me do it for the show.

Elva's final audition was in Los Angeles, and they were excited to meet the other actors:

It was around my third audition, which was in LA of all places. I started feeling like this was something serious and that maybe I could do it...When I saw Taika Waititi there, it all started to feel very real. That’s also when I met the other actors who ended up being in the show. Lane, D’Pharaoh, Devery, and Paulina were all there...Devery and I were both auditioning for Elora, which was intimidating for me. I was a 16-year-old with no acting experience, and she was this professional actor who’d already worked a lot.

Playing Jackie paved the way for the actress to do an episode of Rutherford Falls. After being cast in Reservation Dogs, they were booked to feature in the series, but the latter came out first.

In addition, Zahn McClarnon, a fellow cast member from Reservation Dogs, recommended them for an AMC show called Dark Winds, where they played Sally Growing Thunder, a contrast to Jackie.

Actress Elva Guerra also shared a little about their character Jackie, who viewers perceive as headstrong, and stoic. They said:

I’m so different from Jackie as a person, which makes it really fun to play her. You get to act angry and mean — it’s a good way to vent your emotions without actually hurting anyone in real life. I sometimes wonder, though, if people connect me to the character and think I have a similar personality.
