COOWEESCOOWEE DISTRICT, OKLA. — UKB Tribal Council Clifford Wofford, has been busy over the past few months attending the Tulsa Premieres for blockbusters like ‘Twisters’ and “Killers of the Flower Moon.’
Wofford played as a law enforcement role that you can see in ‘Twister’ and an Osage councilman in ‘Killers.’ He’s also worked on films like ‘Last Rodeo’ and ‘Fancy Dance.’
Wofford has also worked alongside Lily Gladstone. Gladstone has already won the Screen Actor’s Guild’s “Best Female Actor in a Leading Role” for her portrayal of Mollie Burkart in the film.
"I was able to see Lily's dedication and how she researched her part to tell this important historical story that's so important to the Osage Nation," Wofford said. "[Gladstone] also did research on her own elders to understand them."
Killers of the Flower Moon is nominated for 10 Academy Awards, including Gladstone, who is up for the Best Actress award.
“Moving forward, Lily will be remembered for telling this story and how she provided an opportunity for people to see and understand Indian Country," Wofford said.
Wofford also mentioned that he believes Gladstone is deserving of the award for her dedicated work ethic alone. It was the second time Wofford had worked with Gladstone.
Stay tuned to Keetoowah social media and Giduwa Cherokee News to follow the future roles of Councilor Wofford.
