HEART BUTTE, Mont. (AP) -- Leonard Mountain Chief, a tribal elder of the
Blackfeet Indian tribe, movie actor and champion fiddler, died Monday of a
heart attack. He was 59.
Mountain Chief appeared in the 1989 film ``War Party.'' He also played actor
Steven Seagal's father-in-law in the recent film ``The Patriot.''
Mountain Chief had roles in 17 films and documentaries since 1948, including
``All the Young Men'' with Sidney Poitier in 1957.
He ranched in the Heart Butte area and was active in the political community,
serving three terms in the Blackfeet Tribal Council, and as chairman of the
Land Board and gambling committee.
An avid fiddler, Mountain Chief had played in Nashville and Hollywood, and in
1987 headlined a country jamboree at the then-College of Great Falls. Later
that year he performed in a show with Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings and
toured Russia.
