Las Vegas police on Tuesday arrested and raided the home of a former “Dances With Wolves” actor accused of sexually assaulting young Indigenous girls during a period spanning two decades, according to police records.
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 and, police allege, used his position to abuse young Native American girls.
In South Dakota, the attorney general’s office has put a new focus on crimes against Native American people, including human trafficking and murders. There was no lawyer listed in court records for Chasing Horse who could comment on his behalf as of Tuesday evening.
