Brando and Wounded Knee

Title

Brando and Wounded Knee

Description

This item is a newspaper article by William F. Buckley published in the Minneapolis Tribune which provides an overview of Brando’s refusal of the Oscar, his activism at Wounded Knee, and Hollywood’s representation of Indigenous Americans. The tone is unserious and mocking, and the author appears disdainful of Brando in particular, writing that he has decided to become "Mr. Jane Fonda" and concluding that "the poor Indians" should be "spared the patronage of Marlon Brando."
