Saginaw Grant, a prolific Native American character actor known for roles in "Breaking Bad" and "The Lone Ranger" as well as a hereditary chief of the Sac & Fox Nation of Oklahoma, has died. "He made his home here as an actor, but he never forgot his roots in Oklahoma. Grant was born on July 20, 1936, in Pawnee, Oklahoma and never forgot his roots in the state. Grant was active for years in the powwow circuit in California and traveled around the globe to speak to people about Native American culture, Carmichael said. As a result, Grant was also active in the Native American veterans community and participated for years in the National Gathering of American Indian Veterans, said Joseph Podlasek, the event's organizer.
