: : It is my opinion that Wes has extreme talent on the screen as an actor, however his embracing the Chad Smith faction of the Cherokee Tribal election was in bad form for someone I once admired for his projection on the screen as a honest American Indian Idol. Chad Smith according to newspapers has a wife and three children and a second family of three children , which he is not married to, roughly the same ages as well. Chad Smith was Charged in court with a couple of charges to boot for distrubances as well at the Cherokee Courthouse.My Question to Wes is why?
:
: I read this post today and felt that Wes needed to address this
: one so I faxed him a hard copy of this post and here is Wes's
: response:
: "I believe that as far as the charges go...Any and All Cherokee
: would have done what he did, I feel that it was more of
: a patriotic activity and duty and I fully believe Chad Smith's
: capibilities far outweigh any personal issues this man has..That
: is between Chad Smith and his wife. Wes Studi"
: Ok, hope that is cleared up ;-)
Thank you Debby for enabling Wes to defend himself. And to defend Chad, I would argue that there is more to a person than what you read about them during an election.
