History WesternAnimation / SpiritRangers

* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: Colour unofficially denotes magic. "Ordinary" animal spirits like Condor look mostly like the species in RealLife, but the powerful Coyote and shapeshifting Skycedars (whose animal forms are ''entirely'' magic) are more vibrant.
* AmuletOfConcentratedAwesome: The heroes enter the Spirit Park through beaded, necklace-esque amulets that move of their own accord.

** Eddy has a habit of saying, "Aw, turtle toes" when something goes wrong.

* GoodParents: The Skycedar parents are raising their kids to respect nature and be proud of their Chumash and Cowlitz cultures. They also make a point of educating their kids about other Indigenous cultures. They organize fun family activities like fishing, canoeing, and having "s'mores and storytime" around a campfire. And they're sympathetic and helpful when their kids have problems.
* GooGooGodlike: The Skycedar siblings are only preteens, but their heroics are ''cosmic'' in scope. More than once they've literally put the moon back in the sky.

* TheMagicComesBack: The Skycedar kids know about magic; their parents (and grandparents) don't, probably because of the attempted genocide and cultural upheaval the latter lived through. The kids were born in a stable environment where they could connect with their native land, learn traditional crafts (like their transformation amulets), and choose how much foreign culture to adopt- freedoms which meant that the spirits could tutor them in magic. Unfortunately, the spirits don't know as much about human magic as actual human teachers would, which leads to an unpleasant surprise in the Season 2 finale.
* {{Magitech}}: The laws of physics are drastically loosened in Spirit Park, enabling spiderwebs as strong as steel cables and rockets powered by a volcanic eruption.
* TheMasquerade: For some reason, the adult Skycedars cannot find out that spirits are real, although they love Native American mythology just as much as the kids do. [[BellisariosMaxim Probably because having adults involved would destroy the plot.]]
* NatureHero: The Skycedar siblings are technologically literate, but they spend most of their time in Xus Park, doing things like reintroducing salmon to a lake or helping geese migrate.

* WriterOnBoard: In season 2, the action periodically stops so that characters can list off RealLife Native American celebrities. [[AsYouKnow Often they provide information that the other characters would already know.]]

* {{Catchphrase}}:

* {{Catchphrase}}: Eddy has a habit of saying, "Aw, turtle toes" when something goes wrong.

-->'''Qsi:''' ''(at the Spirit Park relay race)'' Buffalo raced ahead, but she lost her lead when she got stuck in a tree.

* PlayfulOtter: In "Belly Of The Beast," the Rangers clean up after a birthday party, but Summer is in a rush and doesn't close and lock the trash bins like she's supposed to. Later, [[=DeeDee=]] asks the Rangers if they have any idea why otters are running around the park wearing party hats.

* IdiotBall: The eleventh episode is premised on a group of adult American rock-climbers believing that Native Americans ''are extinct''. The same episode relies on a forestful of immortal animal spirits not recognizing an opossum when they see one- in an environment where opossums (albeit of a different species than in the episode) would be common.

They also make a point of educating their kids about other Indigenous cultures. They organize fun family activities like fishing, canoeing, and having "smores and storytime" around a campfire. And they're sympathetic and helpful when their kids have problems.

-->'''Lizard:''' Sunka's not that cute. You'll never find me going gaga over that pup.
-->'''Sunka:''' Hi. I'm Sunka.
-->'''Lizard:''' ''(lapsing into BabyTalk and scratching Shunka's head)'' Oh, who is a good little puppy? Who's a good puppy? Who is the cutest puppy I ever saw in the whole wide world!?

* SignatureHeadgear: Mr. Skycedar often wears a handwoven cedar hat. It's a traditional craft for the Cowlitz people and a practical item for someone who spends a lot of time in the sun.

''Spirit Rangers'' is a 2022 fantasy preschooler's show produced by Creator/{{Netflix}} Animation, Laughing Wild and Superprod Studio.

* {{Thunderbird}}: A thunderbird couple and their baby bird Sky visit the Spirit Park occasionally.

The show is set in Xus National Park in southern UsefulNotes/{{California}}, a haven of nature and Native American spirits. Xus is a world where Coyote plays tricks, Spider weaves dreamcatcher webs, and Condor carries the sun across the sky. No less important are its human caretakers, the Skycedar family of park rangers. When spirits need their help, the young siblings Kodi, Summer and Eddy Skycedar transform into animals to save the day. Kodi becomes a grizzly bear cub, Summer turns into a red-tailed hawk, and Eddy transfigures into a turtle.

The series is noteworthy because it's an almost unprecedented example of Native American representation in television. The writers and voice actors are all indigenous, as is most of the rest of the creative team; also, the producers consult with the Chumash and Cowlitz tribes to ensure accurate representation of Native culture.
