Jimmy Herman was a member of the Dene Nation. He moved to Edmonton in 1980 to study at Grant MacEwan College`s Native Communications Program. A small part in a production titled John Cat, based on a W. P. Kinsella book, sparked his interest in acting. Herman is usually remembered for his portrayal of Stone Calf, a Sioux warrior, in the Academy Award-Winning film Dances with Wolves in 1989, in 2005 he was honoured with a plaque from Edmonton’s Dreamspeakers Film Festival Society on its Aboriginal Walk of Fame.
