- SYNOPSIS OF THE LONGEST WALK THROUGH HOLLYWOOD Comedian Charlie Hill (Oneida of Wisconsin) and actress Kateri Walker (Saginaw Chippewa/First Nations Ojibway) travel around Hollywood searching for signs of American Indians. Of all the so-called "minorities" in Hollywood, Native Americans have the lowest rate of employment (0.5%). Yet each year more Indians come to Hollywood looking for work. This film is a tribute to those who, despite overwhelming odds, try to follow their dreams. The world premiere of this film was at the 2009 LA SkinsFest in Hollywood. A shorter, earlier version was shown at the 2008 First Americans In the Arts Awards. The central focus of the video is to highlight and celebrate the people of Native heritage who have reached acclaim in the Hollywood entertainment industry by receiving stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Charlie and Kateri see the sights of Hollywood and some of the stars of actors claiming Indian heritage. They see many of the world-famous studios that comprise modern Hollywood. Charlie points out that the first feature film made in Hollywood (by Cecil B. DeMille, Samuel Goldfish, and Jesse Lasky) was "The Squaw Man," which pertained to American Indians and included both native and non-native actors portraying the Indians. Charlie remarked that the word "squaw" is considered offensive today, but, "In a way, we kind of started it all." A montage shows images of Native people who are currently working in the entertainment industry. Included in the montage were images of: The cover of the third talent directory of AIRPA, American Indian Registry for the Performing Arts, Film director Chris Eyre (Cheyenne/Arapaho), Writer-producer-director Lynn Salt (Choctaw), Actor-director-producer-musician Wes Studi (Cherokee), Playwright-producer-director Rhiana Yazzie (Navajo), Actor Steve Reevis (Blackfeet), Actress and executive Bonnie Paradise (Paiute/Shoshone), Key grip-photographer Tom Harjo (Muscogee Creek, Seminole, Quapaw, Shawnee, Delaware, and Cherokee Nations), Actress Tantoo Cardinal (Cree Métis), Playwright-producer-director-educator Hanay Geiogamah (Kiowa/Delaware), Actress-producer Irene Bedard ( Inupiat, Yupik/Inuit/Cree/Métis), Actor-dancer-pow wow announcer-motivational speaker and Hereditary Chief Saginaw Grant (Sac & Fox/Iowa/Otoe), Actress-playwright-producer-politician-activist-educator Diane E. Benson (Tlingit/Norwegian), Producer Chuck Marshall (Muscogee Creek/Yuchi), and Actress-casting director Marjorie Tanin (Santa Clara Pueblo). Charlie and Kateri visit the star on Vine Street of Iroquois singer Kay Starr who recorded for Capitol Records in the 1940s and 50s. The next stop was the Walk of Fame star of country singing legend Johnny Cash, who claimed Cherokee heritage, but the heritage was not able to be authenticated. None-the-less, Johnny Cash was close to the native community, and was very influential to native singers like Floyd Red Crow Westerman. Charlie Hill visits a Hollywood Boulevard wig shop and suggests to the viewing audience that they are "Scalps!" Kateri Walker takes over a blank star in the sidewalk, lays down a file folder and writes on it "WILL SAMPSON," as a protest of the fact that actor Will Sampson (Muscogee Creek) is not represented on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Sampson is best known for his iconic role of the supposedly deaf and speechless Indian patient in the insane asylum of the film "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest," with Jack Nicholson and Louise Fletcher. He played Taylor The Medicine Man, in "Poltergeist II: The Other Side." He starred in "The Outlaw Josie Wales" with Clint Eastwood, and acted in "The White Buffalo" with Charles Bronson. He starred in "Orca" with Richard Harris, Charlotte Rampling, and Bo Derek. He was a recurring character in the TV series "Vega$." He used his fame and fortune from acting to help other Native people by founding the American Indian Registry for the Performing Arts (AIRPA) to facilitate bringing Indian performers, directors, producers, writers, musicians, and technical personnel to the attention of film and television producers who can employ them. If any American Indian actor deserves a star on Hollywood Boulevard, Will Sampson does, but it takes money to buy the star.... Next stop on the Longest Road Through Hollywood is the star of Will Rogers. Billed as "The Cherokee Kid," Will Rogers, grew up in Oolagah and Claremore in Indian Territory (now called "Oklahoma"). He rose to great fame in vaudeville, the Ziegfield Follies, in silent and sound motion pictures, as a newspaper columnist, writer, and public speaker. His greatest love was working as a cowboy and did so in Indian Territory, Texas, Argentina, and South Africa. That led to working in a circus doing rope tricks. That evolved into Will Rogers becoming one of the premiere orators and political observers in America, before his untimely death along with pilot Wiley Post in an air trip to Alaska. Charlie and Kateri find the star of radio game host, Bob Hawk, and wonder if he was of native heritage. This was a veiled reference to the "wannabe" issue of non-native people who portray themselves as being of Indian heritage Then Charlie picks a fight with John Wayne on a wall mural, as revenge for all the Indians Wayne killed in movies. Stopping in front of a Hollywood Boulevard store advertising itself to be "Exotic and Elegant," Kateri illustrates the concepts and Charlie mocks them. Another store front advertises "Indian Belly Dance" apparel. Charlie demonstrates an "Indian Belly Dance." Next, they visit the star of the first major Indian television star, Jay Silverheels, a Mohawk from the Six Nations who played Tonto in the long-running television series "The Lone Ranger." Prior to that he had a distinguished career appearing in "Key Largo" with Humphrey Bogart, Edward G. Robinson, and Lauren Bacall, "Broken Arrow" with James Stewart, and "True Grit" with John Wayne, Glenn Campbell, Robert Duvall, and Dennis Hopper. Kateri took a side trip to the Echo Park United Methodist Church, where Jay Silverheels gave back to his community by offering acting workshops for Native people. That workshop gave valuable training to native actors like Lois Red Elk, Jim Elk, Vincent St. Cyr, and Charlie Hill. Kateri visited the very stage where that took place and found that it had changed very little in the 50 years since those workshops. In their travels down Hollywood Boulevard looking for signs of Indians, Charlie and Kateri run into another native, Carl John "C.J." Bernal, a Navaho from New Mexico. Kateri spots a street sign for Cherokee Avenue where it crosses Hollywood Boulevard. She made fun of the fact that many Euro Americans claim Cherokee heritage, but are unable to document it. Then they pass a camera store with music blaring out to the street and they can't resist dancing up a storm. Charlie spots an attraction of a hairy gorilla holding on to a rope moving up and down. Charlie ad libs that it is "Robin Williams without his shirt on." Kateri takes another side trip to Raleigh Studios across the street from Paramount Pictures where Kevin Costner worked to make "Dances With Wolves," with Graham Greene, Tantoo Cardinal, Floyd Red Crow Westerman, Steve Reevis, Rodney Grant, Wes Studi, Michael Spears. Nathan Lee Chasing His Horse, Sheldon Wolfchild, and scores of credited and uncredited Indian background players. The next stop was House of Pies at Vermont and Franklin in Hollywood. House of Pies for decades served as a meeting place of Indians working in Hollywood to meet in production meetings. planning sessions, casting meetings, and after-show parties. While mainline Hollywood dined at fancy restaurants like Spago, Chasens, Mortons, Ma Maison, and the Polo Lounge, Indians found the food and the prices just right at Hollwyood's House of Pies. A favorite dish was the Hash Bash. Charlie suggests some other tasty meals for Indians, like "Poodle Noodle Soup," Fido Mignon, and Custer Pie." Kateri finds the "Yankee Pot Roast." Next, Kateri takes a quick trip out to Barham Boulevard near Universal Studios to locate the original office of the American Indian Registry for the Performing Artists, AIRPA, which played a very large part in the lives of Indians in Hollywood for many years. Then Kateri continues on into Burbank near Warner Bros. Studio in a 1958 Chevy convertible to the famous Big Boys diner for their weekly classic car show. That Bob's Big Boy restaurant played a significant role in Indian Hollywood as the site for the founding meeting of First Americans In The Arts (FAITA), founded by Bob Hicks (Muscogee Creek/Seminole) with Dawn Jackson (Saginaw Chippewa) and founders Harrison Lowe, and others. For 15 years, FAITA presented awards to the top Native American Indian actors, producers, directors, writers, and musicians. Next, Charlie and Kateri travel to Prospect Studios in East Hollywood. It is one of the oldest continuously operating studios in Hollywood dating back to 1915 when it was built by silent film giant Vitagraph. Later in 1927 portions of the first major talking picture, "The Jazz Singer" was shot will Al Jolson. Now it has the world's largest television stage housing the soap opera "General Hospital," and is the home of the medical drama "Gray's Anatomy." Charlie and Kateri are there to find the new organization, the American Indian National Center for Television and Film. When they reach the lobby, they are initially fooled by an old Indian woman trying to tell them what to do. They soon realize it is playwright-comedian-actress-musician Arigon Starr (Kickapoo) masquerading as an old woman. Arigon also arranged and performed the opening and closing music of this video, creating it as an Indian version of the "Tonight Show" theme song. She is waiting in the lobby with make-up artist Sue Marilit (Anishinaabe), who point her to the office of the Center's executive director-champion pow wow dancer, and fashion designer Jhane Meyers (Comanche/Blackfeet), who explains the services provided to Native Americans by the National Center. As Charlie and Kateri wrap it up, they spot their ride. On the way, Kateri notices that the Hollywood Walk of Fame has more stars honoring cartoon characters than they have honoring Native people. Thanks to a good-sport limousine driver, Charlie and Kateri wave goodbye from a limo that took them nowhere, because it was waiting for someone else.
