The Glitter Report: News From Tribe Hollywood!!
by Natalie Noel
“In his detailed preparation for the role, Jay learned Kituhwa, the Eastern Cherokee dialect and studied many historical documents about the Cherokees' involvement in the Civil War. Jay feels heavily his responsibility for representing the Cherokee people in an accurate and respectful manner.”
In preparation for Cold Mountain, Jay assisted director, Anthony Minghella in research for the “Swimmer” character. They were not able to find an elder who was willing to help with the ancient curse that was originally at the beginning of the film. Jay finally found Gregg Howard, who is a historian and a linguistic expert in “Kitua,” the Eastern Cherokee dialect, and he was instrumental in helping Jay in learning the Curse “To Destroy Life.”
