 Indian flute music is performed by Jan Michael Looking Wolf Reibach,  a Kalapuya Native from the Grand Ronde Tribe of central Oregon. Jan  also appears with his flute in a scene with Suzanne Marie Doyon and  Floyd Red Crow Westerman. When producer Richard Doyon first heard  Jans music he was moved and was overjoyed when Jan offered his  music for the movie. Hearing that Jans uncle had recently passed on  and that Jan had been very close to his uncle, Richard asked if  Floyd Red Crow Westermans character, originally called Great Elk,  could be renamed in honor of Jans uncle. Jan said he was honored,  as was the tribe, and so the characters name was changed to  Standing Elk.
