DESCRIPTION:SAN FRANCISCO - Nov. 11, 2009 - This "Thanksgiving" Eve, a digital 
 projection & live radio broadcast commemorating the 40th anniversary of the 
 Native American occupation of Alcatraz Island in 1969-71, prefiguring the 
 return of Ohlone to San Francisco, will have us ask ourselves, what is 
 indigenous? The two-night event titled, "Indigenous Renewal: Alcatraz 
 Occupation Remembrance + Ohlone Presence Celebrated!" features regional 
 film makers' works and archival footage from the occupation of the island 
 in 1969. Wednesday's projections will greet people early morning Thursday 
 as they gather at Pier 31 to board boats to Alcatraz for the annual 
 ceremony there.\n\nThe encore 2nd screening happens on all-night Thursday 
 evening, November 26, 2009.\n\nLIVE Radio\nAn accompanying LIVE radio 
 program is scheduled for this projection beginning at 6pm and continuing to 
 at least 11pm, on Wednesday, November 25th, 2009
 only. 

This event 
 follows a series of projections by David Mark and Ben Wood in 2004, 2006, & 
 2008 highlighting the cultural heritage of the San Francisco Bay 
 Area.

 Since 2008 the projection has combined the use of live radio 
 broadcast with the participation of KPOO 89.5 FM and the cooperation of 
 Neil MacLean & Mary Jean Robertson, of Voices of Native the Ohlone Profiles 
 Project. The producers hope to "probe the many thousands of supporters to 
 rethink San Francisco's history."\n\nThis outdoor cinematic event 
 culminates a week of events commemorating the 40th anniversary of the 
 occupation of Alcatraz Island by the Indians of All Tribes. The occupation 
 changed American history by ending the US policy of Tribal Termination, and 
 it also strengthened tribes across the country to stand up, including San 
 Francisco's original inhabitants, the Ohlone. Their renewed strength brings 
 with it the chance for San Francisco to finally do the right thing for its 
 Native people, as so many tens of thousands demanded in 
 1969.\n\nCollaborating Film Makers and Artists include:\n\n    * Alcatraz 
 is Not an Island, James Fortier
\n    * Rendevouz with Alcatraz, Ben Wood 
 & David Mark
\n    * Welcome to Ohlone Territory, Marlo Mckenzie and Neil 
 Maclean\n    * 
Ohlone Families, Charlene Sul, Anthony Sul
\n    * San 
 Bruno Mountain, Keith Moreau and Sam Ellis Moreau\n    * Native America 
 segments by Lorenzo\n    *

 illuminated moving image sequence onto the surface of the 210 foot tower 
 from two separate vantage points, covering an area of 270 degrees from the
