Sacheen Littlefeather, activist, actor and healer passed away on October 2, 2022 from breast cancer. She was 75 years old. Littlefeather is iconic for a moment at the 1973 Academy Awards when she stole the spotlight – rejecting Marlon Brando’s Oscar – and shined it on how Native American people were depicted in film and television, as well as the Wounded Knee Occupation. Fifty years later, the Academy apologized to her for the abuse she suffered during and after the broadcast. Just a few weeks before her passing, Unreserved host Rosanna Deerchild had the honour of speaking with Littlefeather. They talked about that moment on the international stage and how it all started with a letter. But there was so much more that didn’t make it into the original broadcast. This week on Unreserved, we bring you Part 2 of their conversation. It's the story of what happened after the Oscars: how Sacheen was ‘pushed out’ of Hollywood and ‘pushed into’ a lifetime of activism, teaching and healing.
