Sacheen Littlefeather invites you to a special celebration of live Native American performances featuring a long-awaited statement of apology from the Academy.
The event is sold out at the Academy Museum and will be livestreamed here on SEPTEMBER 17, 2022, at 5pm PDT. The livestream will be available on this channel for a week following the event, then replaced by a trimmed version for documentation.
*About Sacheen Littlefeather*
In 1973, Sacheen Littlefeather (Apache/Yaqui/AZ), a member of the Screen Actors Guild, became the first Native woman to stand onstage at the Academy Awards ceremony, on behalf of Marlon Brando. Sacheen did not accept his Best Actor award for THE GODFATHER (1972). She gave a passionate and moving 60-second speech regarding the stereotypes of Native Americans in the entertainment industry. She also brought attention to the 1973 Wounded Knee South Dakota protest. This historic television moment is significantly highlighted in the museum’s Academy Awards History gallery. As a result, Sacheen was professionally boycotted, personally harassed and attacked, and discriminated against for the last fifty years.*About the Event*
Sacheen invites you to a special celebration of live Native American performances featuring a long-awaited statement of apology from the Academy. The evening’s program will include a land acknowledgement courtesy of Virginia Carmelo (Tongva/So. CA), and a conversation between Sacheen and Academy Member, producer, and co-chair of the Academy’s Indigenous Alliance Bird Runningwater (Cheyenne/Mescalero Apache/NM). Additional performers and speakers will include Academy CEO Bill Kramer, traditional vocalist and singer Calina Lawrence (Suquamish/WA), former Academy President David Rubin, current Academy President Janet Yang, emcee Earl Neconie (Kiowa/OK), emcee Jacqueline Stewart, Michael Bellanger (Ojibiway/MN & Kickapoo/OK) and the All Nation Singers and Dancers, Steve Bohay (Kiowa/OK) and the Sooner Nation Singers and Dancers, and the White Mountain Apache Crown Dancers (Apache/AZ).

I like to think of this as the whole sky always being “there”, but the Earth blocks about half of it ALL THE TIME! Alternately, if we look straight “up”, we’re always pointed towards a different part of same sky. I made these reprocessed spherical timelapses to hopefully communicate these perspectives. I think it’s pretty incredible how the sky acts like an ever-changing window on our universe.
I shot this timelapse over the course of about a week. (the camera was pretty tired and I went through a bunch of 64BG SD cards…) I ended up finally capturing one good 24-hour span with the camera pointed up, and one good 24-hour span with the camera pointed down.
I was using a circular fisheye lens with a 185 degree field of view to capture the entire sky in a single photograph. I also flipped the camera over to take a picture of the ground and capture a full spherical image (albeit separated by a day). I did a whole lot of math and editing in Lightroom (twice for each of the “up” images), Matlab for color temporal smoothing, Davinci Resolve for stabilization and looping, back to Matlab for spherical “unfolding”, back to Resolve for compositing the top and bottom images, back to Matlab again for redistorting into the “tiny planet”, and finally back into resolve again for a final render. I also passed a few frames through Imagej in order to measure some angles I needed for the polar alignment and “star stabilization”. After all that I think it turned out pretty cool!Camera:
Sony A6000 – Aperture priority, auto-ISO, AWB
Lensbaby circular fisheye (E-mount) – adjusted aperture at sunrise and sunset to control light)
External intervalometer set to 1:20/frame (enough time to process a max 30 second exposure and associated dark frame)
Case-relay power system (plugged into the wall, you can see the orange cable on the ground…)Other videos in this series:

Seoul is the capital and largest city in South Korea. It’s considered a megacity because it has a population of over ten million people.
Seoul also has the third largest metropolitan population among Asian cities, and is the fifth largest in the world, with 26 million people.
Seoul has been continuously settled for over 2,000 years, due to the fact The Capital Area occupies a plain in the Han River valley.
It contains some of the most fertile land on the Korean peninsula, although relatively little of it is used for agriculture today.
The framework for modern-day Seoul began to emerge as the construction of electrical facilities, railroads, streetcar tracks, parks, waterworks systems, schools, and hospitals commenced at the end of the 19th century with the opening of the port.
By the 1950s the population was around 1 million people which grew 10-fold by the end of the century
During the 1960s and 70s Seoul experienced serious urban issues due to extensive population inflow, such as traffic congestion, environmental pollution, formation of illegal settlement areas, and housing shortages.
However in just 50 years, Seoul has managed to turn this around by resolving various urban problems to grow and advance into a smart city where 10 million people live comfortably today and it is considered one of the greenest megacities in the world with 27.80% public parks and gardens.
This can be considered major accomplishment for any city especially for Seoul which ranks number 7 in most densely populated cities in the world.
In comparison Tokyo only has 7.5% green spaces, despite having less than half the population density of Seoul City.
In this video we are going to show how Seoul city has transformed a traffic congested multi lane highway by restoring 5.84 km riverside into a walkable urban green space.
Making the Chengygheon river restoration on of the most successful urban green mega projects in the world.

Due to construction, the pedestrian tube of the Maastunnel is temporarily closed. But pedestrians are not allowed to just use the bicycle path instead. Let’s see why.
UPDATE: The bikes are now stored downstairs:0:00 Mild flickering images in next section
