To celebrate Father’s Day, we talked with some famous father-daughter duos about life, lessons, and love.
David Midthunder is an enrolled tribal member at the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Indian Reservation in Montana. For the last 15 years he has appeared in a myriad of films as compelling Indigenous characters, but he’s perhaps best known for his leading role as Famous Shoes in the Lonesome Dove prequel Comanche Moon. And in 2022, he had guest-starring spots in two episodes of 1883 as the Comanche character Two Feathers, one of which saw him riding with Martin Sensmeier and coming to the aid of Shea, James, Elsa, and Thomas during a shootout with cattle thieves.
David appeared opposite his good friend Wes Studi in the period western Hostiles as the villain Buffalo Man. “We level justice against Buffalo Man by hanging him by the neck in a tree towards the end of our trek,” Studi says. “David is my friend, and it was great to take a selfie and mount it next to what was supposed to be his lifeless body.""
David’s daughter Amber Midthunder, also an enrolled tribal member at the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Indian Reservation, has been full speed aboard the acting train for the last five years. Still in her early 20s, Amber is currently starring as Rosa Ortecho in The CW’s Roswell, New Mexico, which films in her hometown of Santa Fe. She recently starred opposite Liam Neeson in the film thriller The Ice Road and just completed a star-making role in Dan Trachtenberg’s prequel to the Predator series, Prey, scheduled to air on Hulu this summer.
Both David and Amber appeared in the contemporary western series Longmire as
David Ridges and Lilly Stillwater.
