Elaine Miles
Elaine Miles was born on April 7, 1960 in Pendleton, Oregon. She was raised outside
the Seattle area as a member of the Umatilla tribe, one of three tribes on her
reservation. Brought up traditionally with her parents' Indian heritage, Cayuse and
Nez Perce, Elaine learned her Native American culture through ancestral
storytelling. She is skilled in the traditional activities of her tribe - beading, pottery
and weaving - and she is also a prize-winning traditional dancer who placed second
in the Women's Traditional Buckskin dancing in the Goodwill Games held in Everett,
Washington. 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, Elaine 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. After seeing her in the
waiting room, the agents asked her to read for the part. They immediately gave her
the role of Marilyn, and cast her mother in the recurring role of Mrs. Anku, the
wife of the local medicine man. Elaine spends her down time traveling in her truck
to numerous parades and festivals, where she performs her native dancing. Since
Northern Exposure, Elaine has appeared in several films, including Mad Love (1994),
Smoke Signals (1997), and Skins (2002). She has also appeared on CBC's half-hour
series The Rez as Etta the medicine woman.
One of her recent projects was RezRobics - a workout video to extoll the need for
Native Americans to exercise and avoid health problems such as diabetes. Featuring
Elaine and Drew LaCapa, the self-billed "300 pounds of love" Apache comedian, the
video is the brainchild of Pam Belgarde, a Turtle Mountain Chippewa health worker,
and Gary Rhine, a producer/director. The exercise video won an award from the
American Indian Film Institute and will be given to the first 100 families arriving on
the morning of the conference.
