"At the 1973 Academy Awards, Native American actress stepped in to turn down
the Oscar for Marlon Brando. She only had 60 seconds and was not able to read
her entire speech. Until this day on Native Trailblazers radio."
Via Muse, who wrote:
Here is the full speech read by Littlefeather forty-five years later. You
have to hear this. It is amazing!
I did not watch the Oscars this year (or last year or the year before that).
However, evidently Sacheen Littlefeather recently read the full fifteen page
speech Marlon Brando gave to her to read at the 1973 Oscars. it's pretty
heartfelt stuff. Brando then added his presence to the protests at Wounded
Knee.
Here is an historical description of that night. The reporting has an
unfortunate slant, but it does give you an idea about the events.
