A member of the Blood Tribe of Siksikaissksahkoi, or Blackfoot Country, Brave Rock was raised by his grandmother Florence on the Blood Indian Creek Reservoir in southern Alberta, Canada.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS
8:00 I had the opportunity to act in the major movie Wonder Woman and to speak my language. It was the first time our language was heard on such large scale.
17:23 When I was young I remember watching a TV show and seeing an indigenous man on a horse. That inspired me so much to bring my culture to a big audience. I'm taking steps very few of my people have taken before me.
22:23 I never saw myself as an actor. I am a storyteller and storytelling is our oldest tradition. I am happy to carry that on in a contemporary way.
