As
2,000 veterans make their way to Standing Rock to hopefully alleviate some of the pressure at the pipeline protest site, where members of over 300 Native American and Aboriginal tribes and a few courageous others who defy the local government's threat of daily $1000 fines for standing alongside people trying to protect not just their land but also their entire region's water supply, I thought I could take a moment to feature character actor
Rodney A. Grant - a member of the Omaha tribe of Nebraska - who is perhaps more known for his portrayal of Wind In His Hair in the 1990
Kevin Costner epic
Dances With Wolves and legendary warrior Crazy Horse in the 1991 TV movie
Son Of The Morning Star.
He also had bit parts in
Geronimo: An American Legend (1993),
The Jack Bull (1999),
Ghosts Of Mars (2001) and both iterations of
Ghenghis Khan (1992 and 2010). On television, he was a regular on
Hawkeye (1994-95) and had guest spots on
Due South,
Two and
Stargate SG-1.
However, for the purpose of this post, I'll show him from his tiny part in the 1999 flop
Wild Wild West starring
Will Smith,
Kevin Kline,
Salma Hayek and
Kenneth Branagh, with card #A-13 from
Fleer/
Skybox's
1999 Wild Wild West collection (and
Autograph Series sub-set), with a close-up of his face and an on-card signature in thin (fading) black sharpie:
I got this card in a re-pack of "Celebrity" cards.
