Oyuncu
The actor Charles Brunner, was an Dawes-enrolled, full-blood Creek
Indian, born in the Creek Nation, Indian Territory, and spoke the Creek
Indian language and English fluently. Because of his expertise in the
Creek Indian language, Charlie (a nickname) also known as Chief Rolling
Cloud, was selected by the state of Oklahoma and the United States
Government, to act as one of the official "Creek Indian Language
Interpreters", in the infamous Jackson Barnett case. After, Mr. Jackson
Barnett (a full-blood Creek Indian) died, a fierce court battle and
struggle ensued, among many of his "supposed" beneficiaries. The
majority of these beneficiaries spoke only the Creek Indian language,
this is the reason why so many Creek Indian language interpreters were
involved in the case. The aforementioned case continued on for many
years. Mr. Barnett's estate was worth millions from his Oklahoma oil
profits. There is a poem written about Charles "Chief Rolling Cloud"
"Charlie" Brunner in the book "Poems of Dreams" by Jeff Davis Cypert
aka Chief Tahachee, which describes Charlie's involvement in the
Jackson Barnett case. Charlie Brunner aka Chief Rolling Cloud (Creek)
and Jeff Davis Cypert aka Chief Tahachee (Cherokee) were not only
fellow American Indian actor's, but remained lifelong friends. Charles
Brunner and Iron Eyes Cody were twin-Godfathers to Chief Tahachee's
youngest son, i.e., James Roland "Jimmy" Whiteeagle Cypert. Charlie had
one daughter named Margaret Brunner. Charles was a great human being.
