As to Eric, the man is another great talent in my mind. He of course plays the Native American with style and honesty and sensitivity...but there is a bigger talent under there and I hope those who direct and cast continue to recognize it and develop it. He strikes me as a very intelligent and sensitive man, with many sides to his personality, but is always true to what he is at any given moment. I wanna see MORE of this man!! Period film or not. Though, I think, he has done as much or more for the cause of the Native American as Russell Means has, but in his own way. A quieter way. One that may have a better chance of reaching Americans and changing paradigms than a strident tone would.

:BILL, you echo my thoughts exactly. And you said it so well. He certainly is multi-faceted as far as his talents are concerned, but aside from his talents, I see so much more . He certainly seems to me to be intelligent, sensative and just a nutural gentle manner. Of course I won't mention that he ooooz
