I knew from a young age that I wanted to be an actor. I never even thought about other careers. The acting field is certainly not the path many Indian parents encourage their children to take but mine were very supportive. They wanted me to have an education but understood that this is what I wanted to do.
I think people should look at learning about Native American history the same as visiting Washington D.C. and seeing the monuments there. It's all part of the package.
