History is not there for you to like or dislike. It is there for you to learn from it. And if it offends you, even better. Because then you are less likely to repeat it. It’s not yours for you to erase or destroy

MONTANA BLACKFEET, 1938. Twelve adult men and other Blackfeet tribal members traveled in a dedicated Great Northern railcar to Hollywood to make a movie with child-star Shirley Temple (center), 20th Century Fox’s top moneymaker. The old people felt they were traveling to a strange country, so they prayed hard to be protected.
The Blackfeet brought their own ceremonial finery. Shirley Temple’s costume was made by an actor’s wife. Many Guns reported that on the train they wore ordinary store clothes. They put on buckskins and headdresses to look proud when they arrived in the strange land of Los Angeles, California. When they ate at the famed Brown Derby, Many Guns was certain that the restaurant had never before hosted old buffalo hunters and warriors.
For two months, the Blackfeet lived in tent houses on the Fox studio lot and usually ate at the commissary with other actors. Tom Many Guns, standing right, and Eddie Big Beaver, standing left, were the youngest adults and served as interpreters. At age 80 in 1976, 37 years after the movie was released, Many Guns reported that he was getting monthly residual payments of $191, about $850 in current value. You can view the colorized version of “Susannah Of The Mounties” on YouTube.

In Cherokee culture, women held significant positions and enjoyed certain privileges and responsibilities.
Women in Cherokee society were considered equals to men and could earn the title of War Women. They had the right to participate in councils and make decisions alongside men. This equality sometimes led outsiders to make derogatory remarks, such as the accusation of a "petticoat government" by the Irish trader Adair.
Clan kinship was matrilineal among the Cherokee, meaning that family lineage and inheritance were traced through the mother's side. Children grew up in their mother's house, and maternal uncles held the role of teaching boys essential skills related to hunting, fishing, and tribal duties.
Women owned houses and their furnishings, and marriages were often negotiated. In the event of a divorce, a woman would simply place her spouse's belongings outside the house. Cherokee women had diverse responsibilities, including caring for children, cooking, tanning skins, weaving baskets, and cultivating fields. Men contributed to some household chores but primarily focused on hunting.
Cherokee girls learned various skills by observing and participating in their community. They learned story, dancing, and acquired knowledge about their heritage. Women were integral to the Cherokee society, and their roles played a central part in the community's functioning and adaptation to changing circumstances.

Missed the first 20 minutes of the party dedicated to the end of filming of his new film in one of the clubs in New York.
He waited patiently in the rain to be let in.
No one recognized him.
The club owner said: "I didn't even know Keanu was standing in the rain waiting to be let in - he didn't say anything to anyone."
"He travels by public transport".
"He easily communicates with homeless people on the street and helps them".
- He is only 58 years old (September 2, 1964)
- He can just eat a hot dog in the park, sitting between ordinary people.
- After filming one of the "Matrix", he gave all the stuntmen a new motorcycle - in recognition of their skill.
- He gave up most of the fee for the salaries of costume designers and computer scientists who draw special effects in "The Matrix" - decided that their share of participation in the budget of the film was underestimated.
- He reduced his fee in the film The Devil's Advocate" to have enough money to invite Al Pacino.
- Almost at the same time his best friend died; his girlfriend lost a child and soon died in a car accident, and his sister fell ill with leukemia.
Keanu did not break: he donated $5 million to the clinic that treated his sister, refused to shoot (to be with her), and created the Leukemia Foundation, donating significant sums from each fee for the film.

Many Native American tribes lives on small pieces of land, but the Blackfoot tribe did not. They lived on a very stretched out area of North America, from Montana to the Saskatchewan valley, Canada. In the 18th century, the Blackfoot tribe moved on foot to the West, using their dogs to move their belongings.
The tribe was more progressive than others, having used fi****ms and horses dating back as early as 1750. This was how the tribe won battles over smaller, weaker groups.
