Former Dances With Wolves actor handed life in prison for Indigenous sexual assaults

A Nevada judge sentenced Nathan Chasing Horse, the actor from Dances With Wolves, to life in prison after a jury found him guilty on 13 charges related to sexually assaulting Indigenous women and girls; he’ll be eligible for parole after 37 years. Victims described enduring trauma and loss of trust as he exploited his role as a Lakota spiritual leader, and related charges in Canada and Alberta remain pending.
