- Nipo_T._Strongheart abstract "Nipo T. Strongheart (born May 15, 1891, in White Swan, Washington; died December 31, 1966, in Hollywood, California) was a Yakama Nation Native American lecturer and performer and a technical advisor to Hollywood film producers. Throughout his life, which spanned several careers, he was an advocate for Native American issues. He spoke on religious issues several times and late in life became a member of the Bahá'í Faith.Strongheart's mother, Chi-Nach-Lut Schu-Wah-Elks, was a member of the Yakama Nation. He was exposed to native culture through performing with his father in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show and its successors; according to some sources Strongheart spent most of his childhood with his white father away from the reservation and Indian culture; other sources say he was adopted by a Yakima woman, and brought up and educated on the reservation. Strongheart's public performances began in 1917 when he worked for the YMCA War Work Council. He toured military camps across New England, where he gave presentations on Native American culture and spoke seriously about military service. His talks encouraged hundreds of men to volunteer for war service. After World War I and his job ended, Strongheart moved briefly to the Yakama Indian Reservation but left again and had a successful career in the Lyceum and Chautauqua circuits of fairs, where he gave presentations on Native American culture and often spoke against the reservation lifestyle enforced by government policy. He played an important role in the development of the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 signed by President Calvin Coolidge, which he thought would help end reservations and empower Indian culture.In his early youth, Strongheart had already had experience with the fledgling film industry and began to focus his career in that field as the audiences of Lyceum and Chautauqua events dwindled. He was involved in a number of projects in silent film (especially Braveheart) and the developing talkies (especially Pony Soldier). He also helped develop or found a number of organizations centering on Native Americans, including the Los Angeles Indian Center and the still-existing National Congress of American Indians. Through Strongheart's involvement in film production he was able to counter stereotypes about Native Americans; he often translated movie scripts into the language of the Native American peoples portrayed, and also dealt with wardrobe and props.When Strongheart died, his will included provision for seed money and materials to allow the Yakama Nation to build a library and museum, which became the Yakama Cultural Center. The Yakama Nation established a permanent exhibition about Strongheart in 2014. Scholars began to mention him in 1997 when discussing the military service of Native Americans, and in 2006 when discussing the problems of Native Americans in the Hollywood film industry.".
