ethnicity of Serene Hedin

[edit]

In an earlier version of the page, I had stated that Hedin was a non-native actress, but I since found a source where she describes herself as half Navajo. I had cited American Indian Image Makers of Hollywood, which stated: "Non-native actors were cast in two important roles: Serene Hedin played Tashina, and James Remar was the younger version of Windwalker."[1] Our film curator sent me an article from the January 23, 1981 Denver Post where Hedin stated that she is half Navajo on her mother's side and half Swedish.
