Because of her health, Sacheen has stopped giving interviews around 2021, according to The Guardian.
Sacheen revealed in a June 2021 interview with the outlet that she has been through a lot in terms of health.
“I’m very, very ill,” Sacheen told The Guardian. “I have metastasis breast cancer terminal to my right lung. And I’ve been on chemotherapy for quite some time and daily antibiotics. As a result, my memory is not as good as it used to be.”

Sacheen went on to say that she’s been exhausted and has had to go through multiple rounds of health screenings due to cancer.
“I’m very tired all the time because cancer is a full-time job: the CT scans, MRIs, laboratory blood work, medical visits, chemotherapy, infectious disease control doctors, etc,” Sacheen added. “If you’re lazy, you need not apply for cancer.”
After her famous protest at the 1973 Academy Awards, Sacheen Littlefeather was blacklisted in Hollywood.
Sacheen eventually left Hollywood to work as a health consultant and assisted other Native Americans in the United States by sharing knowledge and collaborating with various health organisations.
