The SOFIE Foundation: Saving Ourselves From Indigenous Extinction
With each step we take in this life we learn. May we ask forgiveness for our unkindness of yestur-year and do better today.

With each step we take in this life we learn. May we ask forgiveness for our unkindness of yestur-year and do better today.Sacheen Littlefeather who refused to accept an Oscar On Marlon Brando behalf in 1973 has finally received and apology from The Academy.
When she stepped on stage at the Oscar’s this is what she said.
“Hello. My name is Sacheen Littlefeather. I'm Apache and I am president of the National Native American Affirmative Image Committee. I'm representing Marlon Brando this evening and he has asked me to tell you in a very long speech, which I cannot share with you presently because of time but I will be glad to share with the press afterwards, that he very regretfully cannot accept this very generous award. And the reasons for this being are the treatment of American Indians today by the film industry – excuse me – and on television in movie reruns, and also with recent happenings at Wounded Knee. I beg at this time that I have not intruded upon this evening and that we will in the future, our hearts and our understandings will meet with love and generosity. Thank you on behalf of Marlon Brando.”
Despite the boos and jeers coming from the audience, she maintained her composure. John Wayne attempted to physically attack her as she exited the platform and had to be restrained by security. By claiming that he was giving the medal on behalf of "all the cowboys shot in all the John Ford Westerns," Clint Eastwood made fun of her. Littlefeather was thereafter put on a Hollywood blacklist and never again engaged in the film business.
On September 17, 2022, Littlefeather will return to the Academy once again as a guest of honor. ... See MoreSee Less

Pano is a linguistic family spoken by groups of indigenous people in the Peruvian, Brazilian and Bolivian share of the Amazon Forest. There are 18 variations of the language in use, at this moment, by a number of ethnicities such as the Shipibo, Konibo, Yawanawá and Kaxinawá- each adding their own cultural nuances to it. However, as many as 14 variations of the Pano language have already become extinct. The SOFIE Foundation honor the indigenous languages and support projects that help indigenous groups reconnect with their cultural heritage and tradition. Ref: Loos, Eugene E.
