_ Algonquian Shaman, . Kitpou.

Motorists using the section or:
in front of Terrace’s:
Tillicum .. Theatre “throughoul *

road

the week were the first to notice :
Kitpou's arrival.

RCMP are still puzzled - that :

no accidents occurred in’ the
area because the Shaman's
teepee stood out as ‘d- major
tourist attraction. ._ He pitched
the teepee on the theatre’s roof
and spent many an hour just
mi looking down and waving to .

passérs-by,

Drivers. continually pulled
over to the roadside and
pedestrians walked with their
Setheads to the air as everyone

i}Bazed at the unusual sight. No
one appeared to be watching
their own way, The scene was

Bi somelimes hectic.

Kitpou came to Terrace alter
a special request from- local

theatre owner Bill . Young. *
After finishing official business
in Prince Rupert Kitpou . was:

ready to drive back.to Ottawa. -
He had been commissioned by’:
. National Museum to receive. :

Little big show .

“BY KIERAEN MacALLEISTAIRE >

‘Dustin Hoffman’ isa "good: actor - right. So:is ,Chiet’ Dan“;
George. These are facta;‘and these facts are demonstrated in
‘ their co-starring roles: in jthe ‘movie LITTLE : ‘BIG: MAN, woe
"presently showing at the Tillicum Theatre, ~~

_ But their talents He notanly in acting, but inentertaining. And
. there is a definite difference.’ An actor will go before his -

audience. and perform, and portray a role, .An entertainer

makes his audience angry, and 9@, and happy. .

Hoffman's role shows fo less than the incrodible turmoil in
which every. person who has ever. been young has been in. The —

indecision, the. disbelief in their elder’s ideals, the. non- .
understanding of the racial problems that have always existed.

Chief Dan’s rele shows the slow, easy way of the older person.

“Old Lodge Skins” ashe was known in the movie, was like that.

He too, did not'understand what the Inter-racial: problem was,

and was content tolive and beleft alone,

Together, these two actors-and entertainers put together what.

is perhaps the best movie J have ever seen, and in doing so, said

what millions of .people have tried to say since the dawn of

discrimination...“\Wheére’s the problem? Why can't people
forget their color and get- together?"
This movie is one which every person - vihite, red, black or

areen should see, ‘It will make you think. *

The night that I saw the show, last Thursday, KITPOU, the
Algonquin. Chief, was on hand to deliver a message, - His ~~
message was the same thing - Let's get together, without
fighting, and straighten out this mess.

Located at the Theatre is a TeePee, It is on the roof of ‘the ©
marquis. This teepee is Kitpou’s home. He lives in it. Itis also
one of the. teepees used on the set of Little Big Man, Part of a last

_ heritage that some people are trying to bring back. .

It’s what we need more of. It's great stuff. ;

_  Kitpoir spoke in dramatic tones, emphasizing the need for

’ peace, and a peaceful solution to the problem. He sang an
Indian song, and went through it in English for the benefit of

. those who couldn't understand the Algonquin wording. A |
dramatic performance, it was a fitting introduction ta the
movie

Then followed twoand a quarter hours of fine drama, comedy,
and message. Actually, the message is concealed under the
pretext of being the’story of the life ofa boy captured by a tribe’
of plains Indians. — -:

Thestory lineis entertaining. The message is rewarding. The
acting makes it all worthwhile,

Elsewhere in the acting field, the Terrace Little Theatre has a
_ big problem. That problem came about when’ the Terrace
’ Community Center burned. to the ground last week.

They lost an uncalculated amount of money in costumes,
makeup and props. Many of the destroyed props were antiques
and irreplaceable.

With the expense incurred in taking their play to Victoria last
Spring, the club is-now left in a position where it has become -
financially difficult for it toreplace these burned items.

They areasking the general public for assistance - that means
if you have period costumes, old clothes in good condition that
could be made into costumes, old items and knick-knacks and
other trivia that might be useful to a theatre group, why don’t
you call Evelyn Dirnback. She's the president of the Terrace
Little Theatre, arid can be reached at 635-7993,

As a final note, Tsay again, See Little Big Man. You'll be glad
you
