February 2010 I had conversations with some of Indian Country’s most recognized people - all very interesting. Heres a quick rundown of each. Feel free to take a listen to them and many others. Enjoy XOXO

On the day of settlement, Secret Service comes in buzzing around the room then Ken Salazar walks in. He sits directly across from me and asks ‘Who are you that you can shut down the entire United States government?’ ‘I dont ever want the United States government to abuse us again’. Elouise Cobell

Adam Beach, whose career spans over 20 years and has starred in some of Indian Country’s biggest and most popular hit movies like Smoke Signals, Flags Of Our Fathers and Windtalkers.

Chris Eyre was up for talking about anything ‘not work related’ and wanted to simply observe the other side of Indian Country’s celebrated entertainement icons.

Nathan Chasing Horse is from the Rosebud Nation of South Dakota. He is probably best known for his role as “Smiles-A-Lot” in the epic movie “Dances with Wolves.”  He has been in several other productions since then including the film “Dreamkeeper” and the TV miniseries “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee.”

Medicine man, award-winning actor and motivational speaker, Nathan Chasing Horse is from the Rosebud Nation of South Dakota. He is probably best known for his role as “Smiles-A-Lot” in the epic movie “Dances with Wolves.” He has been in several other productions since then including the film “Dreamkeeper” and the TV miniseries “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee.”

Nathan splits his time residing in several major cities in California and Canada.

His ceremonial responsibilities however, take him all over the United States and Canada traveling in what has been affectionately named the “Groovemobile.” Nathan is hard to pin down as he is constantly on the move and is in big demand for his words of wisdom and healing. Mr. Chasing Horse spends a large portion of his time doing outreach.

He is confident that it is possible to keep tradition alive for young people even when faced with the pressures of gangs, drugs and alcohol.

Apart from his dedication to teaching and motivating Native youth, Nathan is an accomplished martial arts student, experienced in rifle handling and archery, horse riding and training, and modern/traditional singing and dancing.

Mr. Chasing Horse cites Sitting Bull, his Grandfather and Father as his personal heroes.
