Revered Native American actor Saginaw Grant has passed away at 85, according to the New York Post, leaving people across the world mourning this momentous loss. Grant was a breakout star, and his charisma and assuredness as a person were inspiring.

In the lead up to his death, Grant had been staying at a private care facility in Hollywood, California. It was there that he died of natural causes on Wednesday, July 28, 2021, in his sleep. “He loved both Oklahoma and L.A.,” Lani Carmichael explained. “He made his home here as an actor, but he never forgot his roots in Oklahoma. He remained a fan of the Sooner Nation” (via The Associated Press).
