Littlefeather, who died earlier this month, made headlines in August after the Academy of Arts and Sciences apologized to her for the treatment she received during the 1973 Oscars. Back then, she appeared on stage in traditional Native dress and lamented the mistreatment of Native Americans by Hollywood and other industries. As she spoke, the audience booed, and presenters went on to mock her.

Disgusting! Where on the Internet could one see such a thing to properly condemn it?
