Sacheen Littlefeather, the Native American actress and activist who declined a best actor Oscar on behalf of Marlon Brando in 1973, has died at 75.

"For this, we offer both our deepest apologies and our sincere admiration." to receive a formal apology.
But as Hollywood still struggles to make meaningful strides for Indigenous representation, some members of the Native American community found the public apology to Littlefeather the bare minimum.
