Aside from his first major film role as Ned White Bear in the 1999 film Grey Owl, his other notable film credits include Elektra, Black Cloud, Ginger SnapsBack, American Outlaws and 20th Century Fox's Pathfinder.

Nathaniel has won many awards during his career, and remains very humble about his talents. Among winning the award for Best Supporting Actor in Shirley Cheechoo's film Johnny Tootall, which was screened at the American Indian Film Festival in San Francisco in November 2005, he was the recipient of the Performing Arts Award at the Aboriginal Role Models of Alberta awards ceremony held in Edmonton in November 2006.

In addition to CBC's mini-series Northern Town, Nathaniel also starred in the APTN Pilot Clean Fight as the lead role of Trevor, a kickboxer (who just happens to be Native) struggling with diabetes, and his determination to defeat this disease. Other TV appearances include the Nora Roberts' movie of the week Montana Sky (Lifetime Network), and Showcase's Moose TV (as Clifford). Nathaniel also returns for Season 3 as Scott Cardinal in CBC's TV series Heartland.

One of his favourite quotes that he loves to share with others, especially with youth, is: 'I am the power to begin. I am willing to risk the loss of what I have been and grow to what I can become.'
