Tokata’s parents said they allowed the teen to fly to London with Miller, along with other tribal members, for the “Fantastic Beasts” premiere in 2017. (Earlier this year, Miller had run-ins with the law in Hawaii they pleaded no contest after an altercation at a bar in March, and Miller was arrested on suspicion of second-degree assault in April.) In the petition, they also accuse the “Fantastic Beasts” star of giving Tokata alcohol and drugs, such as marijuana and LSD, and flying Tokata to London, Vermont, New York, California and Hawaii. However, as the relationship developed, Tokata’s parents grew concerned for Tokata’s safety and mental well-being and accused Miller of displaying “cult-like and psychologically manipulative, controlling behavior,” according to the petition. and took an immediate and apparently innocent liking to Tokata Iron Eyes.” (Charles Sykes / Invision / Associated Press)Īccording to the petition, Miller “established contact with Tokata Iron Eyes under the pretense of assisting the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe during the NoDAPL movement. The family’s petition said that they tried to serve Tokata in Vermont three times in May and also tried to serve the teen in California in late May.
The family has previously tried to obtain a temporary guardianship for Tokata, as well as an order for a mental-health evaluation in Vermont, where Miller has a home, according to documents reviewed by The Times. The family said it’s been working for months and in multiple states to get Tokata to leave Miller so that Tokata can “be their beautiful independent self.” Representatives for Miller did not respond to The Times’ request for comment.Īlthough Tokata is 18, the parents are still considered the teen’s legal guardians under tribal court rules, Chase Iron Eyes said. We’re working very hard to get this order enforced wherever they are.” They’ve been avoiding service, and now there’s public pressure mounting on them to make a decision, which makes us very concerned about Ezra’s volatile nature.
“They move around so much we’re stuck in this legal limbo situation, and we can’t serve them in any place they’re in long enough,” Chase Iron Eyes told The Times. It cites the federal Violence Against Women Act, which gives the order broad jurisdiction nationwide. According to the domestic-violence protection order, the court “will grant the relief requested” in the petition for a restraining order if Miller, who is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns, doesn’t appear at the hearing.
