Trivia | During the festival, before the reenactment that puts the story into action, the Governor (William Frankfather) arrives and introduces himself to the Council Chief, and then to the Head Man (the uncredited Leonard Mountain Chief) and his wife (Molly Kicking Woman). The Head Man of a pow-wow is the honored male dancer, usually an elder of his people, who is named and leads out the dancers in the opening song of the pow-wow. The Governor and the Head Man pose for a photo, but while they act like they're posing for a still photo, the cameraman is pointing a video camera at them. See more » |
