Press Releases (Sept 18, 09)

HOLLYWOOD, CA  - Sept 18, 2009

Native American actor-activist Russell Means and wife Pearl Means will be attending the Screen Actors Guild's American Indian Membership Caucus later this month. Mr. Means is expected to receive an honorary recognition for his work on behalf of Native America and NA talent.  Ticci Man Project creator-producer Zelan Bonn, president of Kon Ticci International and Native American actor-producer Georgina Lightning are also expected to attend.

The project is part of the President's National Task Force For American Indians hosted by SAG and working to improve access and more Native Americans in the entertainment industry.
