Sacheen Littlefeather, Native American And Oscars Icon, Was ‘Ethnic Fraud’ – Report – Deadline : r/news and r/entertainment seethes

This is an opinion piece by someone who supposedly “outs” people who falsely claim Native standing. She’s also said that our current Secretary of Interior (Deb Harland) isn’t native…yet she is. So her credibility is pretty low. “Ms. Haaland, 60, was born in Winslow, Ariz., to Mary Toya, a Laguna woman, and John David Haaland, a Minnesotan of Norwegian descent. Both parents served in the Navy…her ancestral home is in the Laguna Pueblo village of Mesita, population 800, and for 25 years, her mother worked for the Bureau of Indian Affairs.”
EDITED TO CORRECT GENDEE
How convenient that her sisters waited until she was dead to come out to make these claims that she was a fraud.
Uh, Apache? Aren't they from the Mexican border area... when are you native American versus Mexican?
Believe it or not, the native Americans didn’t recognize current borders.
Democracy dies in the dark.
I apologize for the paywall, but the title says it all. The fact that we are still focusing on heritage rather then accomplishments must have Dr. King rolling in his grave. Judge folks by their actions not the way they appear.
Probably shouldn't judge folks as it is; who knows what they have been through. If they are nice be nice, if they are mean walk away and leave them alone. It's simple physics, the nice are attracted to the nice and the mean end up on island penal colonies.
I jest strailia, love yall, it's amazing what sending reprobates to a snake, shark, spider, and croc infested island (where even the trees can kill you) can do for a people. It's as if, when we work together we can do amazing things... [-24]
Never heard a native call themselves an Indian...a white term for them [-21]
I wonder what Rachel Dolezal thinks of this
Have to pay for her onlyfans to find out
I don't see how being half-Mexican stops someone from also having Apache heritage?
Iron Eyes Cody sheds a single tear down his cheek
But why they wait 50 years to out her?
She might not have been Apache, but Mexicans are part native American. We just don't tend to label central American groups like the Aztecs this way for some reason.
This is crazy but the story seems airtight
This is so clearly racist bullshit it’s hard to stomach it. I have no idea why having Mexican heritage would prevent someone from having Native American heritage. They literally border each other now, and in the past there were no such borders anyhow.
Sorry to tell y'all this, but if she's Mexican then she's still Native American. This is just white people trying to cancel brown people... [-2]
Sacheen Littlefeather, Native American And Oscars Icon, Was ‘Ethnic Fraud’ – Report – Deadline
Her sisters said in the article that Littlefeather, who died earlier this month shortly after receiving an official apology from the Academy, was not of Apache heritage, but rather half-Mexican. Littlefeather’s sisters, Orlandi and Rosalind Cruz, approached Native American journ*list and activist Jacqueline Keeler to tell their story. The Chronicle article said Littlefeather was born Marie Louise Cruz to a mother who had white heritage and Mexican on her father’s side. " The sisters claim that their goal in coming forward is to restore their father's good name, saying he "never drank” and was not mentally ill, refuting her sister’s claims.
Littlefeather wore traditional clothing at the 1973 Oscars ceremony, making a statement about Hollywood's treatment of Native Americans. "The Academy’s recent apology to Littlefeather said that " he emotional burden you have lived through and the cost to your own career in our industry are irreparable. "In today's Chronicle story, the Littlefeather sisters said it was troubling to see her "venerated as a saint.

Generated from TLDR This:
A Massachusetts woman allegedly beat her former landlord to death with a hammer and wrapped his body in a curtain after he found out she was forging checks in his name and had stolen over $40,000, officials said.
Garber’s family reported him missing on Monday and Newton police visited his home to conduct a wellness check, but couldn't find him.
It was later determined that Garber and Ke had been spending time together and that Ke had “allegedly been forging checks from the victim’s accounts,” stealing more than $40,000, the release stated.
Prosecutors also said there was evidence she had stolen checks before and owed debts.
Ke was ordered to be held without bail Wednesday.
It's not immediately clear if she has a lawyer.

REUTERS/Ali Khara KABUL, Sept 27 (Reuters) - The Taliban have signed a provisional deal with Russia to supply gasoline, diesel, gas and wheat to Afghanistan, Acting Afghan Commerce and Industry Minister Haji Nooruddin Azizi told Reuters.
Russia's energy and agriculture ministries did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the agreement.
Azizi said the agreement would run for an unspecified trial period, after which both sides were expected to sign a longer term deal if they were content with the arrangement.
The trade deal is likely to be watched closely in the United States, whose officials have held regular talks with the Taliban on plans for the country's banking system.
Whatever we do, we do it based on national interest and the people's benefit."

From this last commenter's profile (literally the first page of comments that show up):
What’s your opinion on people celebrating the death of someone evil? • /r/ask
I'm going to celebrate when my mother dies. I'm going to go to her funeral, see for myself it's her in the coffin, tell the priest he really shouldn't bury a demon in consecrated ground, yell hallelujah the b-word is dead, and skip out of the funeral.
I'll then dance around the graveyard singing ding dong the witch is dead but change witch to b-word.
I celebrate holidays with my dogs. In honor of no contact and taking my life back I use their birthdays and anniversaries to do something for myself. My mother's birthday is my second birthday. I get myself a gift, even if it's something small. I take my son to lunch at a nice restaurant and get him some hot wheels cars. I take my dogs PetSmart and the park on my brothers birthdays.
I haven't made plans for getting older. I know I probably should but I'm only 44. I don't know what will happen in twenty years. For all I know I won't be around that long.

Younger brother 39 We can talk if we need to but I'd rather not Younger brother 34 Love him dearly Younger sister 32 I'm here if she decides she wants to know me Younger brother 24 We talk every so often.

The astonishing endgame of the 2020 presidential election happened less than two years ago. After news outlets from the AP to Fox News, plus 50 state governments, certified Joe Biden's victory, Donald Trump made an unprecedented attempt to overturn the results and stay in power. This culminated in a day of violence when Trump's supporters broke into the U.S. Capitol in an effort to stop the final confirmation of the election by Congress. In case anyone managed to forget these shocking events, the House select committee on January 6 has held an impressively produced series of made-for-TV hearings in recent months detailing the postelection coup attempt.
So what has been the ultimate effect of all this high-visibility evidence of a rogue president gone insurrectionist? Well, the number of Republicans who agree with Trump's "stolen election" fable has almost certainly gone up rather than down. The 45th president remains the leader of his party by any reasonable definition and is unquestionably the front-runner for the GOP's 2024 presidential nomination if, as expected, he chooses to run. He actually leads Biden in averages of 2024 trial heats.
And the best efforts of the House select committee have failed to make the events of January 6 a significant campaign issue in the 2022 midterms. You can, if you wish, blame some of that on Democratic campaign wizards, as Politico recently noted:
Overall, less than 2 percent of all broadcast TV spending in House races has gone toward Jan. 6 ads, according to ad-tracking firm AdImpact --- or just $2.7 million of $163 million. Taken in total, Democrats have aired just two dozen spots focused on threats to democracy this cycle, in roughly 16 different battleground districts.
But some unusually deep polling by the New York Times and Siena College about whether voters care about "threats to democracy," and how they understand that term, might justify Democrats' focus on other issues.
That recent survey asked an open-ended question about the "most important issue facing the country today." Just 7 percent cited "the state of democracy." That's nothing compared with the 26 percent who offered "the economy" or the 19 percent who volunteered "inflation or the cost of living." But concerns about democracy did top "abortion," which was cited by 4 percent, and "crime," which was called a top issue by 3 percent. Moreover, the pollsters later asked whether American democracy is "currently under threat," and 71 percent said yes. That's a big deal, right?
Maybe not. It's when the pollsters dig into what people mean by "threats to democracy" that any focus on January 6 gets lost. Far and away the most popular complaint was about politicians and government generally being "corrupt." Nate Cohn tried to explain the responses:
When respondents were asked to volunteer one or two words to summarize the current threat to democracy, government corruption was brought up most often --- more than Mr. Trump and Republicans combined.
... One said, "I don't think they are honestly thinking about the people." Another said politicians "forget about normal people." Corruption, greed, power and money were familiar themes.
This sure sounds a lot closer to MAGA folk calling Washington a "swamp" than it does to members of Congress expressing shock at the desecration of "the temple of democracy" on January 6.
Similarly, voters perceiving a "threat to democracy" are nearly as likely to view Biden as a "major threat" (38 percent) as Trump (45 percent). Forty-nine percent call "electronic voting machines" a major or minor threat (as opposed to no threat at all), and 54 percent feel the same way about voting by mail. The claim with the strongest bipartisan support is that "mainstream media" are a threat to democracy: 84 percent of respondents, including 83 percent of self-identified independents, consider the media a major or minor threat to democracy.
The bottom line is that democracy itself is broadly perceived as so broken that Trump's deliberate effort to break it by an act of insurrection is being accepted by an alarming percentage of the population as just another warning light. They see it as no more significant than ineffective anti-inflation policies rather than as a unique threat to our system of self-government that must be condemned, punished, and prevented from ever happening again. If Trump's Republican Party makes the gains so many expect in November, it will be a green light for authoritarianism in the future, even if Trump himself exits the political scene and gives way to another demagogue.
