Robert grew up in Hayward, California - far from his mother's Lakota and Cherokee roots. He experienced many of the problems facing urban Indians. As a young adult seeking a better way of life, he started to explore his Lakota heritage and began to turn his life around. What followed were years of traditional spiritual practices; sweats, vision quests, Sundance, listening to the Elders, learning the language, history, stories, and years of activism with the American Indian Cultural Centre. Along the way he rediscovered his love for acting and storytelling. Robert has worked with at-risk youth on reservations, in schools, summer camps and shelters, for over fifteen years. He has lectured and performed in festivals, theatres, universities, community colleges throughout the U.S.A. Robert performs in English.
