    wtf. The same organization that booed an indigenous woman for speaking up about indigenous rights and Michael Moore for being anti-war? Guess it's fitting.

      booed an indigenous woman for speaking up about indigenous rights

      Her speech was based, tho. And points to Brando for helping her get up there.

      I guess the context is that Brando was angry about the treatment of Native Americans in Hollywood, and the Wounded Knee standoff was happening at the time, so Brando and Littlefeather put this together to get a message out about what was happening in a place where they knew it would make waves.
