Three months after not accepting the best actor award at the Academy Awards, Marlon Brando appeared on The Dick Cavett Show with members of the Pauite, Cheyenne and Lummi tribes. Brando had refused his Oscar for The Godfather in protest of Hollywood’s depiction of Native Americans on film.
At the 1973 Academy Awards ceremony, Brando refused to accept the Oscar for his performance in The Godfather. Sacheen Littlefeather represented him at the ceremony. She appeared in full Apache attire and stated that owing to the "poor treatment of Native Americans in the film industry", Brando would not accept the award.
At this time, the 1973 standoff at Wounded Knee occurred, causing rising tensions between the government and Native American activists. The event grabbed the attention of the US and the world media. This was considered a major event and victory for the movement by its supporters and participants.Al Pacinos Trials | Auditions for The GodfatherThe Godfather2017-01-15 | Watch Al Pacino's auditions | trials for The Godfather (includes James Caan audtions for the role of Michael).

This video has lyrics in english and sicilian too, look down below. "Brucia la Terra" (Burns the Earth) is a Sicilian ballad from the town of Corleone. It was one of Michael's particular favourites, as it reminded him of his first wife, Apollonia. It was sung by Anthony Corleone.
The song's lyrics were written by Giuseppe Rinaldi. It was recorded by Gian Campione on the album Calura from 2009. Sicilian:
Brucia la luna n'cielu E ju bruciu d'amuri
Focu ca si consuma Comu lu me cori
L'anima chianci Addulurata
Non si da paci Ma cchi mala nuttata
Lu tempu passa Ma non agghiorna Non c'e mai suli S'idda non torna
Brucia la terra mia E abbrucia lu me cori Cchi siti d'acqua idda E ju siti d'amuri
Acu la cantu La me canzuni
Si no c'e nuddu Ca s'a affacia A lu barcuni
Brucia la luna n'cielu E ju bruciu d'amuri Focu ca si consuma Comu lu me cori
L'anima chianci Addulurata
Non si da paci Ma cchi mala nuttata
Lu tempu passa Ma non agghiorna Non c'e mai suli S'idda non torna
Brucia la terra mia E abbrucia lu me cori Cchi siti d'acqua idda E ju siti d'amuri
Acu la cantu La me canzuni
Si no c'e nuddu Ca s'a affacia A lu barcuni
Brucia la luna n'cielu E ju bruciu d'amuri Focu ca si consuma Comu lu me cori
English:
The moon is burning in the sky And I am burning with love The fire that is consumed Like my heart
My soul cries Painfully
I'm not at peace What a terrible night
The time passes But there is no dawn There is no sunshine If she doesn't return
My earth is burning And my heart is burning What she thirsts for water I thirst for love
Who will I sing My song to
If there is no one Who shows herself On the balcony
The moon is burning in the sky And I am burning with love The fire that is consumed Like my heart
My soul cries Painfully
I'm not at peace What a terrible night
The time passes But there is no dawn There is no sunshine If she doesn't return
My earth is burning And my heart is burning What she thirsts for water I thirst for love
Who will I sing My song to
If there is no one Who shows herself On the balcony
The moon is burning in the sky And I am burning with love The fire that is consumed Like my heart
