Floyd Red Crow Westerman is a world renown Native American (Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate Dakota) actor, singer, songwriter and advocate. Born in 1936, Westerman is perhaps best remembered for his roles as elder / leader Ten Bear in Dances With Wolves, Albert Hosteen in The X-Files, and One Who Waits on Northern Exposure.

Before commencing his movie career, Westerman was well-known as a country-western performer, collaborating with Willie Nelson, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Kris Kristofferson, Bonnie Raitt, Don Henley, Joni Mitchell, and others.

His work and dedication have helped spread the American Indian Movement’s message throughout the world. He has performed with countless musicians in large benefit concerts for Indian self-determination, human rights and environmental protection. He toured the world with Sting to publicize the plight of the Rainforest and has been an ambassador of good will representing the International Indian Treaty Council.

In 2006, Westerman came to Hen House Studios to record his astonishing A Tribute to Johnny Cash, which won a *Native American Music Award* in 2007 for "Best Country Recording".
