\"An Evening with Sacheen Littlefeather will encourage reflection on the historic evening in 1973 and focus on a future founded on healing and celebration,\" a press release for the event stated. \"The event, programmed by Sacheen Littlefeather and produced by Academy Museum Vice President of Education and Public Engagement Amy Homma, is part of the museum’s ongoing dedication to create programs and exhibitions in partnership with film artists and communities that illuminate the entertainment industry’s past and pave the way for meaningful change in its future.\"
\"Regarding the Academy's apology to me, we Indians are very patient people -- it's only been 50 years!\" Littlefeather said in a statement about the upcoming event. \"We need to keep our sense of humor about this at all times. It's our method of survival.\"
\"I never thought I'd live to see the day for this program to take place,\" she added. \"This is a dream come true. It is profoundly heartening to see how much has changed since I did not accept the Academy Award 50 years ago.\"
\"An Evening with Sacheen Littlefeather\" will take place on Sept. 17, 2022 at the Academy Museum in Los Angeles.
