He was born in Placentia, California. His parents were on the way to Hollywood where his father had plans to become a Character Actor in the Film industry. The child was the reason they left Beverly Hills. They returned home to Santa Fe, to seek Native Medicine which they faithfully believed could cure their blind newborn child. Miraculously, one day, at age four and a half he gained his sight. More in his forthcoming biography: “Days in Darkness”. Reason for being in Vienna Austria In 1999, Mr. Silverbird was contacted in Orlando, Florida, where has was starring as Chief Powhatan, father of Pocahontas for Disney/MGM, by a management company that engaged him in the capacity of Ambassador and Coordinator of one of the largest Native Villages that was ever established 27 kilometers from Vienna, Austria. His impact on the European public was so favorable that he now returns every year and uses Vienna as a base to commute between Italy, (where he is frequently engaged), Germany, France, Geneva Switzerland, Norway and other European countries. In 2006, he will tour Australia, New Zealand, Norway, Germany and Italy where he will present Spiritual Seminars, Lectures on Native American History and Concerts with his original music and lyrics.
