  "hello. my name is sacheen littlefeather. i am an apache and i am the 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 afterward, that he must 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... [audience gasps] excuse me... [some boos and some clapping] and on television in movie re-runs, and also the 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, in our hearts and our understanding will meet with love and generosity.
  
  thank you on behalf of marlon brando."
