Unforgettable moments with Cherokee actor Wes Studi

The New World Studi plays Opechancanough, Pocahontas’s uncle who accompanies the young princess on an early visit to England.

The Only Good Indian Studi starred in this 2009 drama about a Cherokee bounty hunter (Studi) tasked with tracking down a young runaway taken from the Kickapoo tribe and forced to assimilate into white Kansas society in the early 20th century.

Call of the Wild 

The Last of the Mohicans His previous collaboration with director Michael Mann found Studi taking a more prominent role as the treacherous Huron guide Magua, who leads an English family into an ambush during the French and Indian War and later seeks vengeance after his own family is caught in the crossfire. Magua makes an unforgettable antagonist for adoptive Mohican Hawkeye (Daniel Day-Lewis) and his father Chingachgook.
