A 46-year-old actor who starred alongside Kevin Costner in Dances With Wolves gained trust with tribes across America as a ‘healing medicine man’ before his arrest for allegedly running a cult which sexually abused young indigenous girls.
Nathan Chasing Horse, 46, who played Smiles a Lot in the 1990 Oscar-winning film, was taken into custody in the afternoon near the North Las Vegas home he is said to share with his five wives.
Known for his role as the young Sioux tribe member Smiles a Lot in the Oscar-winning Kevin Costner film, Chasing Horse gained a reputation among tribes across the United States and in Canada as a so-called medicine man who performed healing ceremonies and spiritual gatherings.
‘Nathan Chasing Horse used spiritual traditions and their belief system as a tool to sexually assault young girls on numerous occasions,’ an arrest warrant reads, adding that his followers believed he could communicate with higher beings and referred to him as ‘Medicine Man’ or ‘Holy Person.’
