Willie LeClair was born in Fort Washakie to a Shoshone Indian rancher and a white mother. Drawn back to the Wind River Reservation in search of his roots through traditional dance, LeClair began to study with Arapaho and Shoshone tribal leaders to learn how to follow the Red Road, or the spiritual path of his ancestors. He has danced the Sun Dance and completed six vision quests, the holiest of American Indian ceremonies. LeClair now serves as an educator and bridge between cultures, giving lectures around the nation on such topics as American Indian awareness, spirituality, language and traditions, often accompanied by traditional dance.
