Well, this response didn't take long from Ken Howard. I must say that Howard is the only President in the last decade to reach out to Native Americans. He attended one of our SAG meetings which was great because we have some kind of support from our elected President.
Native Americans are the least represented in movies & on TV. We literally are relegated to Native Warrior roles - such as - in the upcoming LEWIS & CLARK mini-series coming from HBO. But, online streaming & cable is opening up doors for modern Native roles.
All of what SAG-AFTRA has passed is helping even the Native American union members -- in the long run. There is a lot more to do, but many will never be happy. I am just glad to be a part of a union that protects all artists. (Click on the photo below for Ken Howard's response to Patricia Richardson. And, take a look at the accomplishments & strides Howard has made during his Presidency).
