The tall, lanky, Tantoo Cardinal is a metis, the term in Canada applying to those of mixed Native American and European descent.
Cardinal was a leader of a youth group petitioning to get the Canadian government to build more schools on Indian reservations in the province of Alberta when she was cast in a small role in a 1971 Canadian docudrama on the life of Albert Lacombe, a 19th century Roman Catholic missionary.

 Joseph Ashton - Chicago Sun Times: Roger Ebert Review of The Education of Little Tree
The film tells the story of a half-Cherokee orphan who eludes the clutches of his prim white aunt and is reared in the wilderness of the Great Smoky Mountains by his grandparents.
Granma (Tantoo Cardinal) is Cherokee; Granpa (James Cromwell) was ``born white, but learned to see through Cherokee eyes.'' In a series of vignettes that adds up to life's lessons, they teach Little Tree (Joseph Ashton) his school lessons, the poetry of nature and a lot of common sense.
Tantoo Cardinal, as Granma, has a presence and conviction that gives freshness to her dialogue, which on the page might have looked rather simplistic.
