D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai is a Oji-Cree First Nations actor currently based in Toronto, Canada. In 2021, he was cast as Bear Smallhill in the FX Series "Reservation Dogs".

Woon-A-Tai could previously be seen in the feature film "Beans," an official selection of the 2020 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). "Beans" tells the story of a young girl coming of age during the Oka crisis in Canada – a land dispute between the Mohawk people and the town of Oka, Quebec, which lasted 78 days in 1990. Woon-A-Tai was able to show a darker side in the film, as the object of the lead character’s affection, who ended up being much more than she bargained for.

Woon-A-Tai is studying his native language, Ojibwe, participates as a First Nations drummer, and has a black belt in Shotokan Karate.
