I'm unaware of the controversy but I can say that our indigenous people deserve representation and their stories need to be told honestly and not through the lens of white america.
Sacheen lightfeather was not indigenous. That's the controversy. How can this woman be so old she saw it when she was 11?
@@jtothecc2421 thank you for clarifying it for me. My indigenous grandson deserves the truth. I try to hold on to his heritage for him until he's able and old enough to do so on his own.
She is Mexicans
@@jtothecc2421 when she was 11 she watched a reply of it lol on RUclips or video someone showed her
@J to the C C watch my live interview Latino Slant Pauli RUclips 12/3/22. I'm her sister Rosalind Cruz
She watched the clip “in that moment”? The Oscar speech happened in 1973. This kid was born in the 2000s. 🤔
She wasn’t actually born in the 2000s she was born in the early 90s and idk maybe her parents showed it to her when she was a child you never know
whoa. I did not realize she is a 30 year old playing a teenager. Weird! @@Ash-ob9jh
That's because she hasn't actually looked up the history of the speech, and is just pretending that she is actually educated on the subject.
She probably watched a RUclips clip of it as a teenager, and is just trying to make herself not look stupid.
Trying to make herself not look too stupid. That failed.
@@WhoaBo She's adorable and cute. Austin M., keep doing your thing; let these boys keep slippin', man. You're not into gymnastics, but you're into flipping things. She told you that it's all about the team, Jordan and Pippen, man. So do you wanna join the team? Now tell me little miss thang, dale.
The message given is what's important.
The messenger only conveys the message and is therefore as inconsequential to the weight of the words as the paper the message is written on or the pen that scribes the words.
Exactly they make it seem like this girl was being praised or given benefits for being Native American she literally adopted on the hate of a race
My sister was a Pretendian. And took away the voice of the Tribal Nation to represent themselves, their issues , and their "own" icons, not a fraud. There is nothing more than taking advantage of the Tribal Nation for personal gain and fame. Especially, slandering our family, especially our father, for personal gain to get to this point. That's the truth. This all revolves around a Hollywood career. Sasheen Ribbon company is how she adopted her name. Or the borrowed plains buckskin dress she wore to the Oscar's instead of Apache. How did NA miss this? Are they desperate just to take anyone at their word?. Marie lied about everything
Cool so you're in favour of erasing real Native Americans in favour of people cosplaying so they can play the victim. Thanks for letting everyone know you're a bigot.
The messenger is important when they blatantly lie to the entire world on national television, lie to the Yaqui tribe, and lie to her own family.
I'm sorry, but you simply have a double-standard and it's somewhat racist. For example, if a white person lies and appropriates Black culture, or Latino culture, that person is IMMEDIATELY canceled (such as Rachel Dolezal).
However, if someone appropiates Native American culture, suddenly they are completely forgiven because of the value of their message (such as Buffy St. Marie)...
I'm sorry, but you're defending a narcissistic sociopath that appropriated Native American culture to boost their own fledgling acting career, and their narcissism included making up hateful lies about her own biological family.
Im confused on this one. So are we saying it is ok to appropriate a culture if your heart is in the right place?
Apparently..
She's someone who thinks that if you are like partly indigenous but you're not doing anything for the culture, then you aren't a true native but if you're not native at all yet you're repping the culture, then you're good. It's a weird mindset.
@jamk2668 not too bright. The new generation
Woah Woah people! Don't put words in her mouth. Rewatch the clip. She basically just says "I don't know enough about this so I won't put out any formal statements. All I can say is that the clip had a profound impact on me and helped form who I am"
She is not condoning the behaviour. All she is saying is she doesn't have enough context to venture a statement for exactly the reason you're criticizing her because she knows if she says any statement people like you will turn it against her. So she prefers to not make a statement other than the impact it had on her.
And she's not the only one, a bunch of first Nation communities are saying they don't accept her behaviour but that for better or worse she used that false identity to speak for the community, motivating them to also go into acting, to also speak up, to fight for rights.
What it means is she may have done a wrong thing but it doesn't negate the positive impacts.
The reason these indigenous activists are nervous to 100% condemn is it 3ould tear down some solid efforts and positive strives that have occured brought on by the native communities separate from the pretender. It's why it's so hard to be so simplistic about this.
All I'm saying is don't tear this woman down for one out of context quote when she does a lot for native representation. It's not fair to her when her whole thing is saying "hey I can't really speak to that"
@@jamk2668 No, she's cute and she's adorable. Just whoa up the where that pavement is? 'Cause there ain't no parachute that they can make for this! She put her heart, her mind, her soul, her faith in this! And if you feel the way she feel, then you can relate to this! *nostalgic rap rock music from 2010*
SHE WAS MEXICAN👍🏽
Dad was Mexican, but was he born from indigenous parents or parents from Spain?
The Mexican Cartels each speak a different Native American language.
What saying she was Mexican says is about you, not about her.
Indigenous people exist throughout the Americas. I’m an American Citizen but ethnically I’m Lakota. My wife’s nationality is Guatemalan but her ethnicity is Mayan. Modern European made borders will never define indigenous people more then our culture and blood, and I reject the idea of national identity as my people were forced to it with famine and genocide.
@@kingzigzagzigallah4285 I figured out the Zetas speak either Nahuatl or Tzeltal or Quiché. Sinaloa speaks Otomí. Cortez landed in the middle of their fight and it is still going on.
@Jason T Reyes watch my live interview Latino Slant Pauli RUclips and Indigenous Buffalo PODCAST with tribal members as their guest. I'm her sister Rosalind Cruz
Anyone who trashes Shasheen Little feather has earned my disrespect and spite.
Jesus wasn't Jewish and Buddha wasn't Hindu and Mohammad wasn't an idol worshipper.
This is disgusting.
Lol what, ethnicity and religion are two completely different things and Jesus was Jewish.
Oh you mean how she trashed and smeared her own father as an abusive drunk when in reality he was a kind deaf man. Now his character has been reported off the view of her sisters but I’m more inclined to believe them than the woman who paraded herself as an Apache Indian because she saw it as a more “prestigious identity.”
@@keithkoganeislife3144 I don't guess you would know; not a word you have written about Sasheen's father sounds like anything other than an Indian father and those of us who have one are more convinced by your denial than anything else.
@Pete Hoover you are completely wrong. Our father was NOT an alcoholic or abusive but a deaf man with a family running a small business. Instead of trashing our father, you should face the truth. Listen to Decolonized Buffalo PODCAST with tribal member as their guest or live interview with Latino Slant Pauli RUclips 12/3 for the truth. My sister was a fraud and everything was a lie
Sasheen Ribbon Company. She changed the s to c. You can buy it on eBay. She adopted the name
Unfortunately "lttlefeather"CRUZ Wasn't indeginous she was Mexican Latina....
that is still INDIGENOUS.
@@AhNee you are severely misplaced in the opening chapter of why Marie was exposed as more than just a Pretendian
@@rozalilu1 No, I'm not. Not by far.
@@AhNee I'm her sister
@@rozalilu1 i’ve seen u on a couple other sacheen videos, glad other people are as outraged by her lies as i am
It’s also worth adding that “Mexican” is a nationality. Not an ethnicity. The Mexican identity is made up of an array of ethnic groups including white descendants of conquistadors, black descendants of slaves brought to Mexico, and yes descendants of the various Indigenous groups that were the first people of what we now call Mexico. In fact that is the most common ethnic make up of the Mexican population. So, Sacheen being Mexican does not disprove her Indigenous heritage. The opposite in fact. It makes it even more probable
Just because her father's ancestors are from Mexico crossing over from Spain and Europe doesn't make her indigenous. There's no documentation, affiliation or community to any tribes here in the U.S. or Mexico. Sacheen Littlefeather is a make-up name, with a made-up life stolen from true Native Americans. She's Mexican American and European. Marie Cruz was playing a stereotypical Indian to get ahead in Hollywood and Brando was duped.
It was confirmed Sacheen WAS YAQUI, and her sisters knew it. They didn't deny it until Keeler claimed otherwise. Tell the Arizona Yaqui they're not real. We have tribes south of the border, too, just because they're not in the United States, doesn't make them not Indigneous.
Okay so for the sake of simplicity let’s say she does have Native blood. She is still a fraud because she went around saying she was an Apache Indian, not Yaqui, Aztec, etc. She also lied about her father, smearing him as an abusive drunk when in reality he was(according to her siblings) a kind gentle man who was also deaf. So even if she does have some Native blood(which she doesn’t) she is still a fraud regardless; and a heartless one at that.
@@keithkoganeislife3144 Some people only know what their family tells them. SHE WAS YAQUI!!!!! And how did you know she lied about her father? Through other people? GTFOH. Simple? Yeah, you need simple, because you ARE simple! And Simply...racist, ignorant, and an asshole. If you didn't know him, then you don't have a clue. One sibling may have one experience with a parent, another sibling (BTW, she and her sisters did not get along, so hey, sis is dead, let's smear her!), may have another experience.
@@AhNee well I’m also a Native man, of the Cree tribe so I would advise you to think before you speak. Second if you watch her video at the Oscars she states that she is Apache, which isn’t the same as Yaqui. If I went around and told everyone thst I was Navajo, Cherokee, or Mohawk I would still be a fraud even with my (actual) Native ancestry. I think, like many of her people that came after her like Elizabeth Warren or Rachel Dolezal, she is claiming a particular identity that isn’t hers for the sake of attention, publicity and to get ahead in their careers. While of course every child has different experiences with each parent I’m going to go with her sisters because so far they haven’t built up a mountain of lies and fraud like their sister has.
Edit: Also having 1% of Native blood doesn’t make you a Native. Like me having 1%-3% of Swedish blood doesn’t make me Swedish.
@@keithkoganeislife3144 I am a Native woman who is a Cherokee elder, so I'd advise you to think before you speak, PUNK! You're obviously uneducated on the subject, so I'd advise you to do some research. Many people get told one thing and find out another, but she also had always claimed Yaqui, her sisters knew they were Yaqui, and records were found that she was indeed Yaqui!!!!! The sisters who didn't like her only went with the story after a VILE "journalist" convinced them they were not, because this BITCH has an agenda!!!!! SO DO NOT PRETEND TO TELL ME WHAT I KNOW, PUNK!
@@AhNee If you are an elder as you claim to be I would think you would have some decorum and not resort to petty name-calling. Having a disagreement is one thing but resorting to such language is another. I don’t know why it has to be me to tell you, but you should review some of the teachings about humility and respect. If you truly are an elder I would be appalled. But I digress; to answer your question I have read on her and she hasn’t put forward any actual evidence about where’s she from, what clan, or even reservation. She was just ashamed of being a White Latina and didn’t choose to go deal with it privately to get out of that toxic mindset.
