The Fort Mojave Tribe authorized the shooting of an independent film on the reservation.

Actor Jason Momoa, who appeared as Conan in Conan the Barbarian, plays a tribal member who returns to the reservation after a six-year absence. He personally called Chairman Tim Williams to seek permission to film The Road To Paloma there.

"I think it was a good opportunity for not only the tribe but its members to be involved in a production — something that, to my knowledge, has never been done on the reservation," William told The Mohave Daily News.

Momoa is Native Hawaiian and Native American, according to his IMDB bio.
