Alex Meraz and Kiowa Gordon on press tour for The Twilight Saga: New Moon - Miami, FL

So the MySpace pics of Alex Meraz floating are real. They were taken by Native American photographer Anthony 'Thosh' Collins. I just had to clear that up really quick. Cause he's mid air!!! You can also see Alex in the 2006 and 2008 '21st Century Skins Calendar' produced by Shaunya Manus of Viewfinder Productions Inc. And who could forget about this world famous shot taken by Mihio Manus.

Alex speaks on his culture and where he is from. Kiowa represents his tribe by wearing a shirt from The Hualapai Tribal Nation.

There is so, so, so much talk in this video about Native Americans, mainstream media, being contemporary.
