Greene, who was Oneida from Six Nations of the Grand River, in southern Ontario, died Monday at the age of 73.
He was a member of the Order of Canada, was nominated for an Academy Award for his performance in , and was given the Earle Grey lifetime achievement award for television acting (Canadian Screen Award) in 2004, and a Governor General's Performing Arts Award earlier this year for Lifetime Artistic Achievement.
He played dozens of roles on stage and on screen in a career spanning nearly five decades from major motion pictures, to a range of television productions.
