Native American activist and actress Sacheen Littlefeather (Apache/Yaqui/AZ) invites you to a special evening at the Academy Museum. At the 1973 Academy Awards, Sacheen famously declined Brando’s Best Actor award for THE GODFATHER—at Brando’s request—and gave a passionate 60-second speech regarding the stereotypes and mistreatment of Native Americans in the entertainment industry. She also brought attention to the 1973 Wounded Knee protest in South Dakota. On Saturday, September 17, join Sacheen Littlefeather at the Academy Museum for a night of conversation, healing, and performances as we reflect on the impact of her speech at the 45th Academy Awards (currently on view in our Academy Awards History gallery). Admission is FREE; reservations are required. Visit the link in our bio for details and tickets. (Photo: © Globe Photos/ZUMA Press)
