Kevin Abourezk writes a fitting tribute to Graham Greene from all of us NDN kids who grew up with Graham on our screens. From ’For the first time it was cool to be Indian’:

I didn’t know Graham Greene, but I knew Walter Crow Horse. Shit, who didn’t want to be the pissed-off, bad-ass rez cop who dared to talk smack to Sam Shepard and Val Kilmer – two of the slickest macho men to grace the big screen? I pondered for many minutes how this cowboy hat-wearing, eagle feather-adorned Sherlock could hunch down, look at a footprint and deduce that Ray Levois’ narcissism is what drove him to wear sharp-looking but ill-fitting shoes.
