This pairing pays tribute to Native American actor Graham Greene. Born to the Oneida tribe on the Six Nations Reservation in Ontario, Canada, Greene acted in over 180 projects over his 73-year lifespan. Greene passed away on September 1st, 2025, leaving behind an amazing body of work. But the role he's likely most known for comes from a film that netted him his only Academy Award nomination (for Best Supporting Actor), 1990's "Dancing With Wolves!" Directed by, and starring, Kevin Costner, the story follows Lt. John J. Dunbar (Costner) who, seemingly critically wounded, tries to commit suicide by enemy fire, only to enable a rout by the Union army! Due to the results of his actions, his injury is treated and he's given any posting he wishes, along with the horse "Cisco" he was riding. Dunbar chooses to be assigned to the edge of the fast-vanishing American frontier. Upon arriving at Fort Hays, he is assigned to Fort Sedgwick, a very remote outpost, and travels there with a rather vulgar delivery driver named Timmons (Robert Pastorelli). Upon his arrival he finds the fort deserted, but chooses to rehabilitate it and take up his post regardless. He begins being joined by a lone wolf he names "Two Socks", who comes every evening to watch him. Eventually, the nearby Sioux tribe notice him and attempt to steal Cisco. Fortunately, the horse is wily and escapes being taken twice. Eventually, Dunbar decides to go to the tribe to try to initiate friendly relations. On the way, he finds newly widowed Stands With A Fist (Mary McDonnell), a white woman adopted by the tribe. He brings her back to the tribe, which impresses their medicine man Kicking Bird (Greene). Eventually, over many months, Dunbar and Kicking Bird forge a tentative peace, which becomes a friendship as Dunbar is slowly accepted by the rest of the tribe. But times marches inexorably forward, and the army returns to Fort Sedgwick. Also starring Rodney A. Grant, Floyd 'Red Crow' Westerman, and Tantoo Cardinal.
