Wes Studi (Cherokee) is known
as Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn in the PBS Mystery! adaptations
of Tony Hillerman novels. He has appeared in major films such
as The Last of the Mohicans, Heat, and Dances
with Wolves. Studi directed the short Bonnie Looksaway's Iron
Art Wagon in 1997, and was recognized at the 1998 Dreamspeakers
Festival with the Career Achievement Award. Studi first gained
recognition as a stage actor and playwright at the American Indian
Theatre Company in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He was one of the original
reporters on The Cherokee Advocate (now the Cherokee
Phoenix and Indian Advocate) and has written two Cherokee-English
children's books. A Vietnam veteran, Studi was active in the American
Indian Movement, participating in the occupation of Wounded Knee
and the Trail of Broken Treaties in the early 1970s. Studi grew
up speaking Cherokee in No Fire Hollow, Oklahoma, a rural area
named after his mother's family, and has taught Cherokee language
and syllabary courses. He is the honorary chair of the national
endowment campaign of the Indigenous Language Institute in Santa
Fe, New Mexico. Studi also plays bass guitar for the band Firecat
of Discord, named after an Oneida figure that appears during difficult
times.
