American Indian Gathering: Forget Swifty’s and Spago’s. One of the hottest parties in town tonight may be the Oscar bash held by American Indian actors who’ll gather to see how “Dances With Wolves” fares at the ceremony. The group is holding the party to celebrate the film and its positive portrayal of American Indians. “Dances With Wolves’ ” Wes Studi will attend, along with other notable American Indian actors including Michael Horse of “Twin Peaks.” Guest of honor will be Sacheen Little Feather, the actress who in 1973 rejected Marlon Brando’s Academy Award for “The Godfather.”
