Remember Dances with Wolves? This actor passed away on the 13th a Native American Sioux. Below is what I copied, trivia of his off of the IMDb.

Dave



Dakota Sioux Indian, he is an actor, singer, songwriter and Native American advocate. He made his big-screen debut in Renegades (1989) and is best remembered for his role as elder/leader Ten Bear in Dances with Wolves (1990). His songs like "Custer Died For Your Sins" and "BIA Blues" have helped spread the American Indian Movement's message throughout the world. He has had featured roles in "Northern Exposure" (1990), "L.A. Law" (1986), and many other television series and movies. He performs with countless musicians including Willie Nelson, Bonnie Raitt and Don Henley in large benefit concerts for Indian self-determination, human rights and environmental protection. He toured the world with Sting to publicize the plight of the Rainforest People who are dying along with the Rainforests and, as caretakers, must be protected if the rain forests are to go on providing for all life on Earth. He has been an ambassador of good will representing the International Indian Treaty Council from the time of its inception.
