Check out KC’s post … he shared a scene from their 1990 film “Dances With Wolves” as he remembered his costar as a “master at work and a wonderful human being” who was able to “establish so much about the relationship between Dunbar and the natives with so few words” in the scene.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

As you know, Kevin has long given indigenous stories a platform through several major projects. Graham’s breakthrough role was Kicking Bird in “Dances With Wolves” — a role that earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. The Western follows a Civil War soldier who develops a deep relationship with a Sioux tribe and integrates with them.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
