Two notable Native actors are getting recognition for their work. Cherokee actor Wes Studi will receive an honorary Oscar at the 11th annual Governors Awards. He is the first Native American actor to receive the award. Studi’s Dances With Wolves co-star, Tantoo Cardinal (Cree/Métis), is receiving a lifetime achievement award at the Santa Fe Independent Film Festival. She recently landed a key role in the ABC series, Stumptown. We’ll take time to honor their recognition and celebrate the achievements of Native professionals in Hollywood.
