This one has a bit of an odd turn as far as Native American actresses goes. Sheila Toussey is assaying a role of an Italian-American by the name of Jennifer Desiderio, which is clearly not meant to be Native American; I'm pretty sure that is meant Italian sense of the surname. It's a strange turn, because soooo many non-natives played roles in movies as natives; it such a weird encounter to find the opposite. It reminds me of a quote from Barton Fink, when Geisler's comment to Barton was "writers come and go, we can always need Indians."
