Sacheen Littlefeather is an Indigenous activist who is most famous for delivering the speech on Marlon Brando's behalf, turning down the Oscar he won for the Godfather. But Sacheen's accomplishments are many and varied - she studied Native health and was responsible for assisting hospitals with accommodating Native health practices. She has worked on many documentaries regarding Native American cultures and even helped found an organization whose aim was amplifying the presence of Indigenous actors in Hollywood. To this day she brings awareness to Native issues and is an elder in her community.
