Who is Monica Dutton on ‘Yellowstone’? Meet Kelsey Asbille

With just four episodes left in Yellowstone Season 3, the Paramount Network drama is picking up some serious steam. Last night, the western devoted much of its attention to the case of Sila, a Native American girl who goes missing on the reservation bordering the Duttons’ cattle ranch. The tragedy prompted Monica Dutton, played by Kelsey Asbille, to recommit herself to her native community, a plotline that will carry the season through to its finale in August.
