: Thanks for everyone's information. I don't live in America/Canada so info about Eric is really hard to find- except on the net. If anyone has any more info on him please e-mail me, I would be really grateful.

In Russell Means' book "Where White Men Fear to Tread", there is a passage on page 515 where he talks about Eric Schweig. Russell Means says, Eric Schweig is a Canadian Inuit who was adopted by a white family as an infant and ran away at age sixteen because of abuse, and that - while shooting TLOTM - he (Russell Means) held an Indian adoption ceremony to adopt Eric as his son.
