Nathan Lee Chasing His Horse, aka Nathan Chasing Horse and Nathan Chases His Horse (born April 28, 1976) is a Native American actor. Formerly from the Rosebud Lakota Sioux Nation, he has spent most of his adult life in California, and now lives in Las Vegas, NV.[1]

Chasing Horse is perhaps best known for his portrayal of the young Lakota character, Smiles A Lot (Lakota: Iȟá s’a) in Kevin Costner's 1990 movie Dances with Wolves.[2] He has appeared in three TNT telefilms with First Nations actor Eric Schweig: The Broken Chain, Into the West and Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. Later, he went on to give speaking engagements and workshops on spirituality, and developed a following in a variety of locations.[2]

On July 6, 2015, after attempting to hold a Sun Dance ceremony in the area, Chasing Horse was banned from the Fort Peck Indian Reservation in Montana as a "safety threat", due to charges of "human trafficking, drug dealing, spiritual abuse and intimidation of tribal members."[1][2][3]
