Graham Greene has passed away at the age of 73. An Oneida actor from Six Nations, Greene was a trailblazer for Indigenous talent on screen. He was nominated for an Oscar for his role in Dances With Wolves, becoming only the third Indigenous person to be nominated for any acting award at the Oscars.
Over his 40-plus year career, Greene also appeared in projects such as Thunderheart, Wind River, Molly’s Game, Twilight: New Moon, The Last of Us, Die Hard With a Vengeance, The Green Mile, Reservation Dogs, and many, many others.
His agent confirmed that Greene passed after a long illness and added: “He was a great man of morals, ethics, and character and will be eternally missed.”
