Raised on a Shuswap Indian Reserve in British Columbia, Morris Bates improbably became the first professional Elvis impersonator, playing the Las Vegas Strip for 10 years after the King's death. He appeared on stage at the Silver Slipper, the Landmark, and Vegas World, and gave command performances throughout the Orient, South Africa, and South America. In the 1990s he retired to Vancouver as a native youth conselor and testified at the infamous Pickton murder trial.
