Wes Studi discovers his roots

Unforgettable & mesmerizing performance in the Last of the Mohicans, stay strong Wes Studi & keep the message of the native people STRONG & RELEVANT!👍👏🫡

Thank you Wes Studi God bless you and family amen❤😊 I wish we could link up North American and Canadian First Nations with the Indigenous peoples of Brazil = helping one another and informing the world about the reality❤😊

We are so used to seeing genealogy that mainly goes back to Europe, that finally seeing a Native American lineage should be fascinating

Indian country: I've never been fan of Hollywood. When a white army battles Indians and wins, it is called a great victory, but if they lose it is called a massacre.– Chiksika, Shawnee.

Chiksika's words cut to the heart of how history is often framed by those in power. The language used to describe events can shape perceptions, justify actions, and even erase the experiences of those who suffered. It's a stark reminder of the importance of questioning narratives and seeking out perspectives that challenge the dominant story.

Thank you for sharing! ❤❤️‍🩹💔🙏😢🪶

Such a legend , we know him as Villain in last of mohicans

I wanted to meet u

I love Wes Studi!! He actually came to my class when I was in college at the Institute of American Indian Arts. We’ve run into each other a couple times and he remembered me each time! He’s also good friends with my friend, Zahn McClarnon (also an indigenous actor). I kid you not, I swear on my Mom!

Great guy, great actor. I have been watching Wes my whole life. They shot Last of the Mohicans in the area where I was raised. I guess that was my first exposure, what a killer role (and performed to a level I have rarely seen matched by anyone). Since then I have always had an eye out for his work. He always crushes it, no matter what he is playing. Animated voices? Sure, no problem. Historical fiction? Yep. Modern crime drama? No problem. Always selling his role to the fullest extent. A really talented actor and consummate artist, he should get more respect. Oh, I guess he's Native American too.

Wes is probably the smartest Native to ever make it in Hollywood.

Very fine actor, always wondered what his actual heritage was.

Wes has a power and presence on the big screen. I think he’s a terrific actor. In person he’s a very gentle man, quite different from the powerful men he portrays. When I watched ‘Last of the Mohicans’ I thought he would win an Oscar. In my opinion he should have.

I saw this episode. Witch one is his father…Jess or Bobby?

Wes Studi is amazing actor. Versatile too. I got such a kick out of him in Mystery Men. He was too funny! 🙂
