Saginaw Grant had recently passed away at the age of 85, he has been known for the two shows Breaking Bad and Lone Ranger, as he appeared in one of the greatest drama episodes that were known on the show as he was one of the biggest native American star’s publicist as he was born in Oklahoma, 1936 as he also served in the US Marin when the Korean war started.

It’s with heavy hearts we announce a warrior has been called home. Saginaw Morgan Grant, the hereditary chief and medicine man of the Sac & Fox tribe, traveled the world speaking of his traditions, his experiences, his sobriety and his faith as both a Native American and a Christian. Saginaw loved this country and fought in Korea as a Marine. He bore the mark of this service as a proud reminder and had a deep love for bulldogs (the mascot for the US Marines). Saginaw was always happiest at pow wow sharing the love, energy and tradition of his people. Watching the children grow in the traditions of their ancestors and to share in the spirits of dance to the beat of the drum brought him both joy and peace. He enjoyed competing in dance and did so up until Covid temporarily halted gatherings. He came to acting later in life and felt enormous pride in sharing culture through movies and public speaking. He was a jewelry maker and artist. He joins his nephew and sister Stella Wilson who passed earlier this year from Covid and his sons who preceded him in the last few years. He is survived by his daughter Lisa Grant, daughter-In-law Dodie L Kent, grandchildren Cassandra and Vanessa Kent and Della Grant, and great-grandchildren Joseph Soutter, Sherry Jo Soutter, Stephen Soutter, and Micah Little Crow, his brothers Austin JR and Francis SR,  Publicist Lani Melisa Carmichael, his adopted son Rick Mora, a soon to be grandson Chayton Mora, adopted daughter Heather Everette, and his many nieces, nephews and cousins in Oklahoma. 


He was the hereditary chief of the Sac and Fox Nation, he began his acting career late, in the 1980s, he went on different shows like The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, Baywatch, American Horror Story, and Community.

His first acting role was in 1988 in the movie “War Party” with Kevin Dillon, it was stated after his appearance in this movie made him wanted even more as he appeared in about 60 other movies and shows.

His facebook released a statement couple of days ago saying:

Saginaw was always happiest at pow wow sharing the love, energy and tradition of his people. Watching the children grow in the traditions of their ancestors and to share in the spirits of dance to the beat of the drum brought him both joy and peace. He enjoyed competing in dance and did so up until Covid temporarily halted gatherings.

"Her syringe design includes a cylinder, piston rod, a handle, and nozzle. The piston rod had a U-shaped handle for easier grip.
