@nowthis: Nearly 50 years after being booed at the 45th Academy Awards, Sacheen Littlefeather—who is of White Mountain Apache and Yaqui heritage—received a formal apology from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for the harassment and threats of assault she faced in 1973 while declining the Best Actor Oscar on behalf of Marlon Brando for 'The Godfather.' #Oscars #indigenous #hollywood

It didn't show Clint Eastwood laughing at her and 6 men having to hold back John Wayne.

John Wayne had to be physically restrained from rushing the stage and stopping her for this!

A Hollywood reporter said the Academy invited Littlefeather, now 75, to an 'evening of reflection' after receiving a private apology in June.

I love that marlon knew that it wasn’t his place to speak on it. He knew that his platform would be better used for her.

Her voice is so soothing. She wasnt angry and she wasnt smug. She was just speaking truth.
