Many critics and audiences feel that “Windwalker,” the first motion picture of its kind, deserves Academy Award consideration, however, the academy is having difficulty deciding in which category the film should compete. The film depicts Cheyenne and Crow Indians speaking their own language with English subtitles. A cadem y. regulations define a foreign language film, as one in which any language o th er than English is spoken. Therefore, as the first film in a Native American Language, “Wind- -walker” would be considered a After this photo was taken we expected to receive a flood of calls.

But that’s not saying they can’t buy me dinner when they’re in town. But I can’t have any connection because I will be making decisions that will affect Warm Springs,” says Smith. . Smith also says that he will nQt gain financially by taking this new position as there is quite a difference in the salaries. “As long as that wage is enough to survive, where I can live half way comfortably back there, I’ll feel satisfied. Because I’m looking at results and other achievements that will benefit Indian Country. And if I accomplish something, th e n I th in k it w ill be gratifying.” He also said that some tribal members have expressed their feelings about him leaving. “They don’t want me to leave. But I think they can understand the challenge and so forth. Also the viewpoint that I can do more for Indian Country while in Washington than if I stay here.” Smith has mixed feelings about leaving Warm Springs. “Moving was a hard decision to make. I hate to leave Warm Springs, even for four years. It has been my home all my life. Before I talked to Mr. Watt, there were times when I was really seriously considering it, I said ‘Gee whiz, I don’t want to leave.’ Especially when I go home and look at the river and open country. Why in the world would I want to go back there? I ask myself. It made me get sentimental about the whole area. “But the other hand,” Smith continued. “I guess you have to strike out some time. It’s only for four years and if I make up my mind it’s only for four years with that thought, I’ll be back. I’m going back to see what I can accomplish.” “I know I want to come back,” says Smith. “And what Geo-Quiz my plans after that, we will just declined the position, stating have to wait and see.
