Hollywood Stories: The Godfather Refuses

What was he protesting ? Was it the fact that Indians are too spoiled and living off the tax payer.

Not "latina".....dude what a f... are you talking about??? what do u think latinas are? ...let me clear your poor brain..... latina=spanish(most prbably)+Indigena (native american)..........in other works half european (spain) and half NATIVE american........... dude..... americans are so poor educated....

That's bs, she wasn't a latina paid actress to do this. She appears here in a clip on you tube over 20 years after the awards on a Native American talk show: search Youtube for GPessouIhxY which is the clip ID# OR Sascheen.wmv She was an actress yes, but hear her side and the prejudice she went through as a NativeAmericanIndian actress.

I agree. She is a Friend. And IS Native People as you say. Half White or not. She is Apache ans Pueblo. They need to stop trying to smear her. Truth and reality were in the words of both the Late Mr Brando and Sacheen about its treatment of native People. Thankyou!

Brando supposed to have had American Aborigine (1st Nations) genes.

Sacheen Littlefeather did a good job. Her birth name was Maria Cruz. She has mostly 1st Nations heritage.

The initial booing in the audience just goes to show how much in denial many were back then.

There were hardly any films on the issue at the time. Soldier Blue (1970) was banned for a long time.

[priestpega]

Maria Cruz was just a latina actress. Not a gene of apache.

[YuwTuwb]

Was it really necessary for her to be apache, tho? A lot of actresses say they have some Native Indian heritage. That could be any kind; there are so many different kinds.

The joke at the end makes it worth watching.

[maggienoddles]

im sorry but i actually laughed at how ridiculous it sounds.

[waterfront1924]

what a load of crap at the end. Brando is a legend and always will be

the narrator reminds me of elliot gould
