Sacheen Littlefeather - Interview.

I'd like to share this interview with Sacheen Littlefeather.

Marie Louise Cruz (born November 14, 1946), also known as Sacheen Littlefeather, is an American actress, model, and Native American civil rights activist, best known for representing Marlon Brando at the 45th Academy Awards in 1973, declining the Best Actor award that he won for his performance in The Godfather. The favorite to win, Brando boycotted the ceremony as a protest against Hollywood's portrayal of Native Americans and to draw attention to the standoff at Wounded Knee. During her speech, the audience response to Brando's boycotting was divided between booing and applause. Littlefeather was born to a Native American (Apache and Yaqui) father[1] and a European American mother. During the 1969 occupation of Alcatraz, she became involved in the Native American activist community. After the Academy Award speech, she went on to work in hospice care. She continues to work in activism for a number of health-related and Native American issues, and has produced films about Native Americans.

What actually happened:



And she says to the last interview, that saved American Indian Movement people from being removed and never being seen again, because the press descended on Wounded Knee.
Although she was blacklisted with a smear campaign.
She wasn't a real "Indian" and hired her buck-skin skirt at a fancy-dress place (all lies).

John Wayne had to be held back from attacking her at the Oscars, and the cops stood backstage, ready with manacles and chains if she dared to exceed her given minutes.

I take my hat off.

When was that?

I think 1973.
Barely half a lifetime ago.

Funny:
So You're part Neanderthal.
And the rest of you is savage.
