Weescoosa The Indian Priestess (usually referred to simply as Weescoosa) is a fictional Native American woman who is a primary character in The Residents' unfinished feature film Vileness Fats (shot between 1972 and 1976), where she is portrayed by Sally Lewis.
An extremely (even offensively) stereotypical depiction of a Native American woman, Weescoosa is an immortal priestess who often travels by bi-plane, intervening in violent struggles between short people whenever her name is invoked (most notably by Arf and Omega Berry in the film's opening musical number "Aircraft Damage", heard on the group's 1972 debut EP Santa Dog).
She has spent much of her life falling in love with various incarnations of the same short, powerful man, only to see them die, over and over again, whenever she gives in to their advances. In Vileness Fats, she again recognizes her lover in the form of Saint Steve and Lonesome Jack, two split personalities of the same short midget, and struggles to resist her attraction.
Despite the film's long production, most of Vileness Fats' most pivotal scenes featuring Weescoosa were never shot, including her introductory sequence, which would have featured an unspecified "major production number", and the film's concluding scene (in which the full extent of her role has never been publicly confirmed).
Most of the shot sequences featuring Weescoosa are featured in the 1984 VHS featurette Whatever Happened To Vileness Fats?, but none of these scenes are included in the much shorter 2001 Icky Flix "concentrate" version of the film.
