Oh my god. Their hair is so pretty and silky. I'm jealous. T____T

yeah... natives have nice hair
the males have such strong facial features... thanks for sharing the pictures!

wow very gorgeous people. something about them is very exotic.

p.s. remember Wes Studi? he always plays the best villain roles, esp. in the movie "The Last of the Mohicans"

AHHHHHHH!!! makes me wanna watch "into the west" all over again!!! i thought tonantzin carmelo was pretty.
one of my my fave pix of her and matthew settle:

dang. the men are so masculine! =OOO

I'm very pleased to see Native American celebrities. Although I am not Native, I feel that it is quite important that every ethnicity gets proper recognition.

They look so strong
lol

Like they'd snap me in half.

Cool, they look like my granny~
Guess thats where I get my jaw line and cheekbones~

those guys are really hott
thanks!

Yay love for Native American celebs

Native Americans don't get enough love in Hollywood IMO

That Wes Studi guy was Sagat in that awful Street Fighter Movie
he was the perfect Sagat

and Irene Bedard does the voice of Pocahontas

oh wow, this thread is AWESOME!! Thanks for these pics seriously...it's rare to see native american topics anywhere.

Michael Spears is studly. Mm hm.

i agree with the hair! they've got beautiful hair, i wish i could have such nice, long hair like that! too bad i don't know any of them but the girl is pretty and so are the guys, very strong and masculine.^^

WOW! you know what I have not seen a native movie in such a long time.... I mean wassup??? they use to do cowboys and indians and now that we are in the 2000 I don't see anything anymore.... They need to bring it back.

It's sad that there are a few left that is 100% pure Native Indian.... I'm still glad that their kind are still around.

Those cowboy and indian movies suck - they were filled with chauvinistic stereotypes, And what do you mean "their kind"? You're not talking about extinct animals here



Anyway, great thread! My mother is "100% pure" ( ) native american Keep it up ~

OHH IRENE BEDARD!!
she plays Pocahontas' talking voice in the animated movie..so thats her.

I don't think you meant any harm just worded this not very well. Anyway those were Hollywood productions and for some time they had white people play natives. If you look for native movie then here are 2 I can suggest. You might have to buy them on-line because they are not popular and might be hard to find at rentals or stores.

Here are trailers

I recognize Wes Studi from something, not to sure what though haaha
I love their hair ><

^Street Fighter and Last of the Mohicans

About the hair

yes it's so long and beautiful
I myself have a soft spot for native american people
and I love native american films and music

My grandmama was part native american
I think she was like 1/8..but you could really tell she was of the ancestory

It's nice to see this thread. I'm going to add stuff. To avoid any hurt feelings or controversy, especially since I heard from both sides while visiting New Mexico a few years ago--I don't say Indian OR Native American--unless the person I'm speaking to corrects me. Some people are very proud to be called Native American--while others look at it as a 'guilt term' given to them by 'white' people long ago--and don't like it--and would rather be called Indian. In Canada, native peoples are called aboriginals (or First Nations/Indigenous), and that and 'Native' is what I use most of the time. Not that there aren't American actors who take diverse parts here in the US--but it's more common to see Aboriginals all the time in Canada, not only as actors--but in other jobs, like the media. Being so close to Canada, most of the actors I know of are Canadian. Many of them may look familiar.

and yes, Adam Beach is Native. He's Saulteaux, and from Manitoba. Google to see other pics, including before the haircut ones. His hair has been long for so long, I went O_O when I saw it short. lol He's also on Law & Order (SVU) now, too.

I have to edit, but meanwhile some non-stereotypical movies (not only because he is in them, but because they're good) Plus this one was written by a local Native author (it was a book first--just about anything made by Chris Eyre from one of his books will be good):


With Irene Bedard and Evan Adams, who is actually a medical doctor now.


Michael Greyeyes (dancer and choregographer as well as actor)


Tantoo Cardinal


Floyd Red Crow Westerman


Graham Greene

Michael Spears has already been posted--but his brother is an actor too~

(from Black Cloud)


Nathaniel Arcand (Canadian. also in Black Cloud , Johnny Too Tall, and Skins-link posted by eledoremassis02 )


Sheila Tousey (American), pic credit PBS


Gordon Tootoosis (Canadian)

there's lots more.

I wanted to mention these, too (also done by Chris Eyre, Robert Redford produced)-- Wes Studi and Adam Beach are the leads in these dramas made from author Tony Hillerman's books--

Wes Studi plays Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn, and Adam Beach is Navajo Tribal police officer and medicine man in training Jim Chee.

ive always been convinced that lou diamond phillips is native american. he looks it at least. is he?

Tyler Christopher from General Hosppital is part natuve american
He's Eva Longoria's ex husband also

OMG ILU! thanks for this post! add some more Michael Greyeyes he is so hawt!

i wonder if anyone has seen 'dance me outside'? it has Irene Bedard and Greyeyes. It came on one night on bb2 like 4 years ago and i really liked it. I can only seem to find it on video though

hehe braids....

thanks for sharing!!

wow their hair are gorgeous!

Irene Bedard sure has aged. But she is still pretty!

wow they look so beautiful, such strong features =)

Wow hot! The men look so strong, with perfect features.
And the women have such natural beauty they don't even need
all this photo retouching or 5000 pounds of makeup.

Their hair is gorgeous. I'm jealous.
But wow. They have a fierceness about them. I love it!
It's sad that they aren't showed very frequently in movies. =(

From Bury my heart at wounded kneeMoon BloodgoodNot Native American but played one in Pathfinder (2007)..thought it was interesting is Korean, Irish and Dutch

^I heard that she is mixed with native american

isnt she moon goodblood?

she even has a native american name

Lorne Cordinal (Canadian) - From 'Corner Gas'



He's great

Thats the first I heard of that. I thought she was too because of her name..but on the Pathfinder site they mention nothing of her being part native. hmm

I took a Native class so i'm really into their history.
i adore how Wes Studi does all the Native films, he even voiced for Pocahontas's Dad's voice in the Disney film.
hopefully there will be more of the Native Actors/Actresses <33

They look Eurasian. I like! I can't be stuffed to look up her name but she was in The New World or something with Christian Bale and Colin Farrell. Very pretty girl. Everyone should watch it. It's so beautiful (nature wise).

ahh dang its good to see some Native Americans getting credit, they are so underrated


WOO!

they have beautiful hairs

I really loved Irene Bedard's speaking voice in Pocahontas *___*

Q'Orianka Kilcher?

And yeah, The New World was a really good movie.

Nice input. What you wrote holds true on regarding the western hemisphere. another term, usually used by native american expats abroad in the eastern hemisphere, is Red Indian - which is what my mother refers to herself as (& we live in Dubai) - to avoid any confusion in terminology with Indians (as in South Asians) and US citizens

I love their hair definately natural beauties!

I love Native Americans! Woot..tink they r sexxxyyyyy.......

Question: The natives in Canada r similar to the red Indians? Pardon mi ignorance but i tot the Natives of Canada mite be the Eskimos(?)....lol...

some look asian...or part asian..

Cooooool, a thread on Native American actors!! I'm part Native American, and I rarely see that part of my heritage represented... so I was excited to see this thread.
