Our inaugural Master of Ceremonies is Martin Sensm

Our inaugural Master of Ceremonies is Martin Sensmeier, an American actor and model of Alaska Native and European-American descent. Known for playing various Native American roles, he starred in the 2016 remake “The Magnificent Seven” and had a recurring role as Wanahton in the HBO television series “Westworld.” He is also known for his roles in “Wind River” and “Yellowstone.” His most recent onscreen work was in the Chickasaw Nation produced film, “Montford: The Chickasaw Rancher” that premiered on Netflix.
