It’s so difficult to keep all this categorization harder to keep straight, I’m English , Irish, married to a Cherokee woman and lots of my cousins are Indians or natives of America or something. But my state had 34 tribes and they like Indians not the other.
He's a member of the First Nations and a fellow traveler of life. He's a great actor and this is a wonderful movie. It should be reissued to try and bring back some humanity in the world.
There are so many awesome Native NORTH Americans, it truly is a shame at how these folks have been treated for generations. I am so thankful to have Cherokee family and friends.
Dances with wolves was on tv yesterday. When I first saw it in cinema, it triggered my interest in native north american people, and their view of the world. As a photographer I'd love to pay a visit to a tribe some day. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Graham, Rodney Grant and Kevin were so intertwined in the film it was like I was a part of the tribe with them. they never missed a beat. For those of us with tribal ancestors it struck a chord so loud it was hard not to feel everything as it washed across our eyes. My Iroquois grandmother would have loved this film. S
What a majestic and proud people the Native Americans/First Nations people were. *I am so revolted by what colonization did to them* . I too come from a colonized people, I too am Indian. An Indian from India 🇮🇳. 🙏🏿
I was so hoping that Graham Green would have won that academy award. I didn’t even find out that my great, great, great grandmother was Cherokee until my grandmother turned 100 years old. When in high school (1967) one of my favorite songs was ‘Cherokee People’ by Paul Revere and the Raiders, sort of ironic that I have Cherokee DNA.
Graham's a terrific actor.The movie is one of my favorites. Nice to see something that depicts indigenous people as human beings instead of the usual Hollywood take. The only thing is historically most indigenous people in that time period were well acquainted with firearms already. But the grandeur of the plains and the Lakota dress was magnificent and of course the performances were off the charts.
Love Dancing with wolves absolutely fantastic movie.Like Graham Greene a good actor.I have seen his performance in playing a indian,with him comes natural.I am half Pequot and Scottish.My great great grandma was a Indian princess.I am proud of my heritage.Best to all native actors and actresses.🙋🇺🇸
Love the honesty of his answers. Absolutely loved all the characters portrayed. Acting was awesome giving a portrait of the American native in the western grasslands. Green did an awesome job portraying his character giving credence to the struggles they endured.
This dude is the dude of dudes, an incredible actor who can somehow managed to beat the Hollywood game. The horrible lines this genius has had to endure; pro actor!
I am absolutely blown away by those interviews. Jesus-Christ interviews like this doesn't exist anymore. The amount of things you learn ( like the 49th parallel border not recognised, never heard of it ) is incredible. So priceless to see that genuine side of actors, not overdone like in the night shows. Thank you so much !
Mr. Graham Greene will make you fall in love with the Northern Native Americans. He did an outstanding job in "Dances With Wolves". I am proud to have married a lady that is one-half Mohawk from the Six Nations Reservation of the Grand River.
This Mr Greene is a killer Actor. Yall should see him in Thunder Heart. As the Tribal Sheriff. "55 Nailem" Its a great Who Done It.. with action thrown in with it and a lot more. Well worth the time spent. Another great movie he stars in is Ishi The Last of His Kind
@@jarlsoars1150 I did night before last. It was awesome. You know at one point I thought it was all in his head in the sweat lodge. I will say no more to not be Dicking it up for other who have not seen it. But it shows his range.
I loved this movie. He was so good in this movie. I saw it twice on the big screen. When the first weekend when it came out with my father. The second time with both of my parents. My mother only saw it once.
Definitely, he was good Maverick, he played Joseph the con artist Indian who tried and successfully tune Maverick on several occasions hahaha😂 oh and he also tune the Russian Oligarch.
This actor rocks every part he's in. As 'Kicking Bird' though, I felt like one of the family. I've even been attempting to learn the Lakota Language. Although who I'll speak to I don't know, as I live in Australia. Ya never know, perhaps I'll get back to South Dakota one of these days.
Donna Vigil Yes it had to be. She sent me a copy of the sound track she wrote, it played in Tulsa and I think Taliquah Oklahoma. I used to manage Beckaroo and we’re both from Oklahoma.
El señor Greene tiene una voz increíble. Transmite calma, control y masculinidad. Graham es un excelente actor con interpretaciones realmente buenas y un tipo con un gran sentido del humor. Bailando con Lobos está (sin duda alguna) entre las diez mejores películas de la década de los 90's. Mi top personal es el siguiente: La Delgada Línea Roja La Lista de Schindler Bailando con Lobos El Paciente Inglés Forrest Gump Braveheart Pulp Fiction El Silencio de los Corderos Terminator 2 Cop Land Saludos desde España 🇪🇦 🇪🇺
What an extraordinary gentleman Mr. Greene is!! I think it takes a certain nobility of character to be able to portray a character in history. In DWW, Mr. Green gave a simply epic performance of the character and personification of Kicking Bird. My hat is off to Mr. Green and I certainly hope to see more of his performances in more movies. Kudos!!!
Just watched the fantasy film Dances with wolves for at least the fifth time. My dad was in the CCC before WW2 and spent time working in New Mexico & Arizona. He could not believe that some towns had signs saying " No dogs or Indians allowed ". He said that the Native Americans were great workers especially working at great heights. Told us that the Native Americans are the only true Americans and the rest of us children or grandchildren of immigrants. Absolute crime how our government killed off their main food ( buffalos ), made treaty after treaty and broke them, stole their land, gave them blankets with smallpox to kill them and send their children off to horrible abusing schools where they were not allowed to speak in their native language.
What an extraordinarily difficult and uncomfortable interview. I wonder if Mr. Greene was annoyed at having to do it. He certainly wasn't going with the flow.
I think they do a bunch of interviews at the same time, so it is one after another. With the same questions. Graham did one interview for CBC and they had a break in the middle. He thought it was over so he got up and left. No one at CBC knew he had done so and there was this dead air with fumbling questions until someone in the studio found out he was gone. Kind of hilarious, when you think about it! ;)
Great movie, great commitment to authenticity. It hit a chord in America. I enjoyed the movie except for the part where Costner and McDonnell get into their sex thing. That didn't hold truth. The man (Greene's character) was morally responsible for the unmarried woman and he would not have let that happen in real life. Outside of that, most everything worked. That's how we saw it.
Of course people will find fault. They shouldn't. Why? It's not a documentary it's a film based on a novel and made for entertainment and artistic freedom is always granted. Films are never made to be historically accurate only documentaries are or should be historically accurate.
Um....Native American? ..."No, North American"☝️......ok then, Native North American ....is that the proper terminology???........Really????? Graham Green took a horrendous interview & managed to salvage it with his great wit! 🤣 Brilliant! 😁✊
@@ronniebishop2496 The problem is that North America is not just the USA. Canada is also part of the North American Continent. In Canada we generally go by Indigenous Peoples or First Nations, And Graham is from Canada.
Kyle Englot Well I didn’t start the calling people Americans? I don’t know who did? It’s no problem for me. But I’m from Oklahoma and we have 34 tribes more than any other state, I’m also married to a Cherokee Indian and have plenty of Indian cousins, but I’m Irish English. This all just started a few years ago, because my high school football teams called the Redskins and nobody ever ever ever said anything about it. Because as Indians they knew that some tribes painted their entire bodies Red. And it started out as just a way of describing people like blonds or brunette or black or white, men or women. It wasn’t derogatory at all, just a description. It’s the red skin people that came by. Etc. Why would a football team call themselves an insult lol they wouldn’t. We don’t go around worried about what we are, I don’t tell people I’m Irish or English unless someone asks me. My wife doesn’t go around insisting people know she’s Cherokee, that indicates a deep insecurity or a desire to get attention. Same with insisting people know I’m from the USA or American. I just say I’m from America.
Right? That's what I thought as well. According to wikipedia - which we all know is a completely accurate source - the term "First Nations" came into common use in the 70s and was first officially used in the 80s.
I remember when it was adopted by the Globe and Mail newspaper back in the 1980s. But it is not universally used in Canada. Indian is just as common and the Indian/First Nation people I've met don't really care. A few of the more political types will sometimes make a fuss but everyone knows what you mean when you say something like "Plains Indian."
