Eric Schweig
Eric Schweig (born Ray Dean Thrasher on 19 June 1967 〔Mike Antonucci, "An actor's odyssey: Drinking, homelessness preceded movie success", ''San Jose Mercury News'', 25 September 2002 ()〕 ) is an Inuit actor best known for his role as Chingachgook's son Uncas in ''The Last of the Mohicans'' (1992).
==Early life==
Schweig was born in Inuvik, Northwest Territories. He is of mixed race (Inuvialuk, Chippewa, Dene, German, Portuguese). He is the oldest of seven children, who were all adopted out as part of the Canadian government's failed attempt at assimilating Inuit and First Nations children into Caucasian society. Schweig's biological mother died of alcoholism in 1989. He never met her. "She didn’t drink a drop of alcohol until we were taken away," says Schweig. "We were part of the whole assimilation program—forcibly taken away, although my adoptive parents told me I wasn't."〔, "Urban NDN" January 2009〕 Schweig was adopted at birth by an English speaking German-French family.〔(Inuvik Drum )〕 He spent his childhood in Inuvik until he was six, when his family moved to Bermuda. They later moved back to Canada.
"I eventually grew tired of living in a prison without walls and ran away when I was 16. What transpired between then and now has been a roller coaster of alcohol, drugs, violence, failed relationships, despair and confusion. Who am I? Where do I come from? Where is my family? Where do I belong? When life's mystery has been shattered by strangers watching over you, a lot of these questions are lost." 〔("Adoption Speech" ) 19 February 1999, Vancouver Inner City Foster Care Conference, (accessed 11 October 2009)〕
Schweig ran away to Toronto, Ontario, where he supported himself by framing houses. In 1985, he was part of the cast of The Cradle Will Fall, an experimental adaptation of Frank Wedekind's Spring Awakening produced by Theatre of Change at the Actor's Lab; this was his first experience as an actor. In 1987, at twenty years old, he was approached by a producer who suggested he audition for a role in the movie called ''The Shaman's Source'' (1990). With little formal education or experience he won the role. The film launched his career in the film industry.
