Thurs. 4/21 at 11am: Native America Calling talks with actor, speaker and stand-up comedian Tatanka Means. What is it that fuels this rising Native star?At age 7, Tatanka Means (Sioux/Omaha/Navajo) began to stabilize his goal as an aspiring actor on the movie set of "The Last of the Mohicans." Spring boarding since that moment, he's added to his list of moments in front of the camera and has now taken to the world of public speaking and comedy. This spring, he will give back by honoring those that have inspired the masses as a part of the 2011 North American Indigenous Image Awards (NAIIA).
