- <p> So you're sitting there, popcorn in hand, watching
- MEDICINE MAN, and it hits you: haven't you met those Indians
- someplace before? You're right. Bekana Santos Kaiapo, who plays
- Imana, the Brazilian Indian child helped by Dr. Campbell (Sean
- Connery), made his film debut as an infant in The Emerald Forest
- (1985) and earned his spurs more recently in At Play in the
- Fields of the Lord. Edinei Maria Serrio Dos Santos, who appears
- as Imana's mother, also played Indians in all three films.
- Elias Monteiro da Silva, Campbell's aide Palala, was in At Play.
- Silva says his latest role was particularly daunting: "I play
- an Indian who speaks English. And I'm not an Indian, and I don't
- speak English."
