Sacheen Littlefeather (Little Feather), the Native American activist and actress who was booed in 1973 for turning down an Oscar on behalf of Marlon Brando, has died at the age of 75.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences itself announced it last night with a tweet.
"When I am gone, always remember that every time you stand up for your truth, you will keep my voice and the voices of our nations and our people alive", these are the words of Littlefeather quoted by the Academy.
