The verdict

Born on the Six Nations Reserve in Ontario, this Oneida actor became one of Hollywood's most respected Indigenous performers, earning an Oscar nomination for Dances with Wolves. From Stratford Shakespeare to Kevin Costner's frontier epic, he carved out a career representing First Nations people with dignity and power. Canada claims him proudly as one of our greatest cultural ambassadors.
