We love Lester Holt and his news reporting and they always at the end of the year show a collage of famous people who died in the last year. We just watched that collage of famous people just now.
One of them was Sasheen Littlefeather. Littlefeather was a fake who claimed she was part Apache Indian. Her two real sisters outed her shortly after she died. She has no Native American ancestry but assumed that role for decades. She was the one who showed up in Indian dress on the Academy Awards ceremony on behalf of Marlon Brando.
How did a respected news organization get taken in by this imposter?
