   Elaine Miles's Comedian Bio
BioBorn on April 7th in Pendleton, Oregon, Miles was raised outside the Seattle area as a member of the Umatilla tribe.. She has received multiple awards from the First Americans in the Arts and was named Native American Woman of the Year in 1993, and America's Celebrity Indian of the Year in 1995. With no previous acting experience, Miles was discovered by Northern Exposure's casting agents when she accompanied her mother, Armenia Miles, and other local Native Americans to an audition for the part of Marilyn. Since Northern Exposure, Miles has appeared in several films, including Mad Love (1994,) Smoke Signals (1997), and Skins (2002), with fellow NoEx cast member, Graham Green. She has also appeared on CBC's half-hour series The Rez as Etta the medicine woman. She also received the Eagle Spirit Award from AIFI in 2001. In 2002, she also appeared in "The Business of Fancydancing," which debuted at the Sundance Film Festival. The film is the directorial debut of "Smoke Signals" writer Sherman Alexie. The film, based on Sherman Alexie's collection of poetry and short stories, "The Business of Fancydancing,'' depicts the return of a successful Indian poet to Spokane for the funeral of a childhood friend and examines issues about the social identity of Native Americans and the concept of Indian "authenticity." She joins fellow NoEx cast member, Cynthia Geary, in both Sherman Alexie films.

    Elaine Miles's Interests
GeneralWell you know I like hockey & football! Grew up on the Pow wow trail when I was younger. Also on the Rodeo circuit. So when I can I love to go to pow wows & rodeos. I do beadwork & cornhusk weaving to calm my nerves. Also like to sew. Since my son is growing so fast can't keep up with the grass dance outfits. Like to go dancing now & then, when I have time! Night life is few & far between! Also like to ride horses when I get the chance.
MusicI like all kinds of music. Top 3 are R&B, Reggae, Blues. Grew up listening to Al Green, Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye. Brought my son up in the same way. So I listen to pretty much any thing. Even country! If it's Blake Shelton or George Strait. Once in a while some elevator music. When I'm stressed! Can't forget B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Etta James, Bob Marley & SHAGGY! My friend turned me on to Los Lonely Boys, Shakira, Frankie J & KMW. So, I do like all kinds of music. What a big forget, LOVE my POW WOW tunes. Specially when I'm missin my pow wow buddies!!!!!
MoviesMy favorite movie is the Wizard of Oz. Other ones are Once Were Warriors, Skins, Thunder Heart, It's a Wonderful Life, Whale Rider, can't forget Bringing Down the House. Diary of a Mad Black Woman, I like her gram Madea!!
TelevisionCSI, CSI Miami when I have time to watch T.V. Hockey also when it's San Jose!
HeroesBilly Mills, My Mom & Dad (I know they both watch over me always), Most of all my Gram (she is always in my heart) My Son who is growing into such a Tahts Hah-Mah (good man)
