She was American. She claimed to be of Native American descent, but her sisters refuted that after her death.

Exactly.

You do realize people from Mexico can be indigenous too? It’s Native American, not native United States. America is more than one continent and it’s not like the indigenous people even used our same borders anyways…

Holy shit! You mean the Aztecs were real!?
She claimed her name is Sacheen Littlefeather, that she is Apache and Yaqui. Her real name is Cruz and she has not a drop of Native blood.
This would have been so easy for you to look up, it is astonishing that you decided, instead, to point out the laughably obvious.

lmao that made me laugh. I’m aware she faked being indigenous, I didn’t need to look it up. I just didn’t like the way you worded it, why mention she was Mexican? Being Mexican and native isn’t mutually exclusive… that’s all I was saying. Kinda off putting when people like you focus so much on race

I focus on race?

Do you wonder why many other people downvoted your initial comment? Albeit true, you added nothing of substance to the conversation. I hope you realize that, it was weird of you to make this post about race.
Says a lot about you, that you’re upset over Marlon Brando protesting for Native American rights...
