Today, we mourn the loss of Val Kilmer, who passed away on Tuesday at the age of 65. 🕊️

The Swedish, Irish, and German actor, known for Top Gun and Thunderheart, once mentioned having Cherokee ancestry, although this claim has been widely debated.

Regardless of the discussions around his ancestry, Turtle Island is remembering Kilmer in a positive light for his lifelong friendship with Native American communities and his advocacy for Indigenous rights.

For many Native communities, Kilmer's impact will never be forgotten. His support was not just a passing gesture but a continuous force for empowerment and representation.

We wish Kilmer a safe journey to the spirit world and peaceful mourning for all his relations and fans. 🤲🤍
