Spielberg Production Sued Over Haircut

Fri Mar 17, 7:26 PM ET

A Mescalero Apache family in southern New Mexico has sued the producers of Steven Spielberg's television miniseries, "Into the West," claiming a set stylist cut an 8-year-old girl's hair without regard for tribal customs.

"It's part of our culture not to cut a girl's hair until her Coming of Age ceremony," the girl's father, Danny Ponce, said Friday in a telephone interview. "The only ones allowed to do that are the parents. Nobody asked for permission."

Ponce filed suit in U.S. District Court in Albuquerque on March 6, naming Turner Films Inc. and the unknown stylist as defendants. The lawsuit seeks $250,000 for emotional distress and $75,000 in damages.

Why weren't her parents on set at all times if this child has special needs?

tristan_D · 03-20-2006, 12:21 AM

they only want more money from Spielberg

V_RocKs · 03-20-2006, 12:29 AM

I say customs should be abolished and so should the derogatoriness of the word n.i.g..g.e...r...

And people who think religion isn't a custom are fucking idiots...

Governments who give a fuck what someones customs are don't help their people out as a whole. The NAACP has royally fucked us all...

If we last another 50 years as the dominant species on the planet I'd be very fucking surprised....

emthree · 03-20-2006, 12:48 AM

Makes sense to me. I wouldent go suing over it though.
Tribal/religious customs are very big to some people.

Bluewire Ross · 03-20-2006, 12:52 AM

it's all about money...
