- The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences issued an apology to the Native American activist and actor Sacheen Littlefeather almost 50 years after she received backlash for declining Marlon Brando’s Oscar at the 1973 awards show. The act was in protest of the entertainment industry's depiction of Native Americans.

#Hollywood #SacheenLittlefeather #MarlonBrando
if the oscars were officially “sorry” about their behavior towards sacheen. they would’ve done it a long time ago.
Can you tell me what the "Oscars" actually did?
Edit: To clarify - Can you tell me what the "Oscars" actually did to Littlefeather?
Nah, it wasn't trendy back then.
She got boo'ed by audience members for her protest Oscar rejection on behalf of Marlon Brando for the treatment of AIM members at Wounded Knee 2 (1971) Clint Eastwood made a toungue-in-cheek comic apology to all of the cowboys who got shot in all of John Ford's westerns.
@@thomasdequincey5811 Is that a genuine question? They refused to let her read Brando's full statement about the maltreatment of Native Americans in Hollywood; she was booed by many and not taken seriously, which the Academy let happen because they didn't want her there. She was also treated badly by some of the guests, including John Wayne, which the Academy did nothing to mitigate or protect her from. Furthermore, she received threats following the event and Hollywood spread lies about her in the press in an attempt to demean her and her message. That's my understanding of what the Academy 'did', but with them, it's more what they 'didn't' do, and continue not to do. Evil is often allowed to flourish because people don't respond to it properly - and the Oscars are as guilty of that as any other major commercial corporation.
@@thomasdequincey5811 Stop being a TROLL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She is too good for Hollywood, and how she accepts the apology after 50 years is true class, a person of high caliber. I could not have done it.
You couldn’t live life as a fraud for 50 years? Neither could I. She could however
@@CarlosDangerTheThird Her sisters claimed that she didn't like being Mexican, which is really sad.
@@dcavalli9 it is. Just like how “Iron Eyes Cody” rejected his Italian heritage
Well, that apology hasn’t aged well.. 50 years too late and then a few weeks too early🤣🤣
@@stuartr2764 hahahahaha
It took an unrelated incident 50 years later for her to get an apology. That's ridiculous.
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and I hope God bless you to have a great day, I'm David by name from Overbrook Philadelphia and you where are you from?
And if they could’ve just held on a few more weeks they wouldn’t have had to do it at all!! ¡Viva Mexico! 🇲🇽
Incredible.... Brando might be proud ...RIP legend.
Brando would have gone out and celebrated in style - the family taco and dip deal, all for himself, and a shot of tequila to wash it down 😂😂
Apologies mean nothing when there is no change. I understand the world is growing however, this mindset is completely accepted worldwide. If it's not natives, it's immigrants and everyone not of the social construct
And what other change is needed, exactly? What more needs to be done?
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and I hope God bless you to have a great day, I'm David by name from Overbrook Philadelphia and you where are you from?
The change that is asked is the same that the apology for the pope has been over. Truly anyone can say I am so deeply sorry and you're people are so wonderful and everything. But we are on the cusp of change only with media because it has been pushed so far. No one is willing to give anyone their land back or do something about anything that our people have faced. Residential schools being only the tip of that iceberg
@@cosaosa2855 this
@@funtimeLemonade "This"? No elaboration?
no actions, just words. good job academy, good job on making no change but just words spoken.
It shouldn't take 50 years to say "sorry" 🇬🇧
Especially since the offended are probably all dead from old age.
You didn't even apologize even after 100 years, lead by example.
Shouldn't she apologise?
They waited until she was terminally ill to even attempt an apology! Classic..
GOOD OLD TALENTLESS (JOHN BIRCHER)JOHN WAYNE and what the public didn't know.
Do you have any evidence on it? Other wise it seems its a he said she said. It could have happened, but there is no proof.
What doesn't the "public" know? Because I'm guessing that, like me, they do know, but don't care.
@@thomasdequincey5811 He wants you to think he has the inside scoop, some real dirt that us mortals weren't privy to.
John Wayne was very talented and what Marlon Brando did at the Oscars by sending the little squaw to reject his award was nothing more than a temper tantrum. I see that Jor-el didn't have any remorse by portraying Americans of Italian descent as gangsters! He even reiterated it in "The Freshman"! 🤨
@Russ Ingram You've got that right. He was the same in every movie. All he did was change costumes !
They're trying to cash in their PC points, they literally didn't care until just now?
They should be apologizing that after almost 50 years they still didn’t bother to do the most basic of background checks to find out she was a fraud. Pathetic!
The original Elizabeth Warren
She's a strong native woman.
Long overdue
Good. She didn't deserve to be treated that way in the first place.
@Just saying ?
@Just saying ?
@Just saying Fighting for the cause of the natives who suffered genocide is so radical
Maybe Marlon Brando shouldn't have sent her to throw his little temper tantrum on the world stage. He could have gone on the stage himself and told the academy this stuff his Oscar!
Only 2 people booing her.... (she had to expect it) Duh!! Marlon Brando should’ve been the one apologizing to her!
Why should Brando have apologized? He could have accepted his Oscar and gone on living his life. Instead he allowed someone to take his place and shine a light on a cause that most Americans never thought about. And on a night when millions would hear. I would bet he asked if she would want to stand in his place. And neither were so no naive as to the backlash. So ask Sacheen Littlefeather if she thinks it is Brando would should apologize, if he was still alive. One hundred percent sure she would say no.
Too late
"PSA": September 17th, 2022 - Sacheen Littlefeather will be hosting a celebration of Native American Indian performances, including the long-awaited statement of apology from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (aka "the Oscars") at the Academy Museum in L.A. California.
they only did this bc it’s getting a lot of attention this past week
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and I hope God bless you to have a great day, I'm David by name from Overbrook Philadelphia and you where are you from?
If the alleged abuse by John Wayne took place in 1973, why didn't anyone talk about it and write a story about it until 6 years after Wayne died from cancer?
John Wayne never had a kind word towards Native Americans despite working with thousands of them over several decades. He clearly lacked empathy & compassion despite walking amongst them.
Probably to protect his he man reputation.Having six security guards preventing him from attacking a woman would have ruined his box office power.
@@petermcculloch4933 Box office power? Seriously? 3 years after the alleged incident, Wayne shot his last film. Although Wayne did outlive Sacheen's 7-movie career by one year.
@@henyosdilly8999 Were you a personal acquaintance of John Wayne that spent considerable time with him throughout his career? Otherwise you are simply parroting stories bandied about post mortem-which is bad form in my book. And if you think I'm some John Wayne fan boy with similar prejudice against indigenous Americans, my father's grandmother was full Lakota. Blood is thicker than water.
@@IMCcanTWEESTED Are you not aware of the huge revenue generated by the video cassette?

Thanks Marlon Brando
Too little, too late Hollywood! 😂
What was she upset about again?
Stay in your Eucalyptus tree twonk.
@@rpdbu8250 Wounded Knee 2 "The Occupation." (Circa 1971)
The resurrection of this minor "event" in "Oscar history" is an indictment of how foolish we and our beloved popular culture have become. Those of us who were around at the time recognized it as a prank by the always contrary Brando and an opportunity for publicity for this would-be actress on the make. After she appeared nude in Playboy magazine and in a few cheap films she disappeared until now. No blacklisting, no backlash, no abuse...
If people were calling them out for their response for Will Smith & Chris Rock thing, I wonder if they would have apologized
50 years long overdue.
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and I hope God bless you to have a great day, I'm David by name from Overbrook Philadelphia and you where are you from?
@@davidmrodriguez8067 Thank you for your service. That is all.
Sister says we're MEXICAN !!!!!
The problem is who is the OSCAR?
She is so beautiful
She got pretty fat so it's not like she hasn't been eating well all these years! 🙄😏😂
it's so pc now it's sad Hollywood died since it went PC
A person can't be perfect though, he/she is a creation,not the Creator🙂
though marlon brando was a controversial personality this act he had done was just a revolutionary step, a breakthrough like the gladiators of the roman empire.whatever anyone said,"SORRY" was due.
What did gladiators do exactly?
and now we find out she was a fraud
"The Land of Free Speech"
LOL! Dumb comment....
@@elainevankat5353 Yeah, pretty dumb, this kind of speech is seen as radical but Nazi protests are just free speech guys.
Wow it only took almost 50 years 😒😒
Oh give me a break! 😂
Apologies mean nothing these days. They are just meaningless words meant to preserve face.
50 YEARS TOO LATE.
I can't believe we're still talking about this fiasco after 50 years! 😂
The academy should apologize to John Wayne
She should never accept any apology from the devils.
Let’s see the actually footage…
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and I hope God bless you to have a great day, I'm David by name from Overbrook Philadelphia and you where are you from?
Turns out she's a pretendian.
Interesting the other aspect of this story is John Wayne being held back.
The real Brando could not get to the oscars so he asked his RELATIVE to accept the award.
John Wayne.
Funny how the Academy did not recognize their slight to not only Brando but Wayne.
Both oscar winners.
Funny how Brando has been harassed for years by
1 a phomy Brando
2 Lies about Last Tango
3 the weird fake family dramas.
His real son was Brad Davis.
His relative was also
Joan Crawford: 4 real children
Robert Redford Diana Hyland
Twins who were in the Parent Trap, that Roberr directed.
His father was Harry Stradling.
We have seen in the past that apologies mean nothing to a racist. Show your sorry by giving back the land you stole
She’s not even Native American 😂😂😂😂😂

@@skydaddy9134 sure... Because killing 210 000 people for the actions of a few is totally justifiable.
Sacheen being booed is much worse than Will Smith's slapped Chris Rock
RIP Marlon Brando
By RIP do you mean Really Immense Pudge? Because Marlon was rockin' a Muumuu and a fatman beret a la King Size Homer. ruclips.net/video/-VHlwcxUUnE/видео.html
R.I.P. John Wayne
Acting is acting
RIP
The Apaches need to apologize to the other tribes for their ruthless behavior.
Pretendian. Not enrolled with any Tribe. Flass claiming Apache but her family is mexican
100% american native woman?
no, she is white
Too little way too late
Makes you wonder if she regrets doing it
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and I hope God bless you to have a great day, I'm David by name from Overbrook Philadelphia and you where are you from?
God is so good
Your god is an imaginary man in the sky
It took them this long to apologized
Academy corny af
hypocrite US.
Hi How Are Ya! Hi How Are Ya!😂🤣😜
Isn't she brave? Having to live with a few people booing her. How did she cope?
P.S. I use to really respect all of the American award shows, now I loathe them. And this "apology" just shows how pathetic the Oscars have become.
Why did you use to respect them given he dark side of Hollywood have since come out? I thought they were good, but obviously there was a lot of hidden (and not so hidden) issues in the industry. Probably part of the reason hollywood’s dying out.
They should have panned the camera to people who were booing real trash
They saw it as the wrong place and time for complaints.
Meanwhile, very little has changed for Native Americans in Hollywood.
NO Devils.
Apologize, apologize for what? The reason goes along with what is wrong in this country. Inpaticular largely news. Apologizing for unproven actuations. You can only lie for as long people believe you.
Apologize for something done by people who are mostly dead now and can't defend themselves. This is the new norm....people who have nothing to do with the supposed "injustices" of the past, undertaken by unrelated people, apologizing to people who were not effected. But there are PLENTY of apologetic idiots up to the task. "Hey, sorry someone else's great-great-great-great-great-grandfather abused someone of your similar ethnicity (who had no relation to you, and had no effect on you) so long ago. If my apology won't cut it, perhaps some reparations will do. And we write the taxpayer's check out to whom.......?"
Where is the proof that John Wayne did this?
The fact that I'm paying 100 percent more for everything I purchase is my main concern.I don't care about someone's feelings 50 years ago.
Not even seeing what the reason behind this just shows how shallow you are.
If you like the way things are going then thank a Democrat this is what they voted for. High inflation high gas prices
If that were true, you would be paying over 7 dollars for a gallon of milk, and 20 dollars for a value meal at McDonald’s. At least make the effort to have your lies seem believable
@@lawabidingcitizen6377 Have you even been abroad this year or even just watched global news? I suggest you do. Besides, in my comment, I was pertaining to the first comment's lack of knowledge or empathy as to how such thing in the news happened.
