Read alittle about him, he is from the Canada Onedia tribe....but when he played the "holy man" in DANCES WITH WOLVES he had to learn LAKOTA...which he practiced 8 hours a day 7 days a week for several months, "hell; don't even speak my tribes language" no one to talk to. He also played against character in LONGMIRE,as a really bad drug dude....i will miss this very special actor.
