DAWNLAND FILM

Friday, July 15 from 7:00 to 9:00PM  Dawnland documents truth, reconciliation, and healing in progress. "For decades, child welfare authorities have been forcibly removing Native American children from their homes to "save" them from being Indian. In Maine, the first official "truth and reconciliation mission" in the U.S. begins an unprecedented investigation. Dawnland goes behind the scenes as this historic body deals with difficult truths, questions the meaning of reconciliation, and charts a new course for state and tribal relations. Dawnland was produced by the Upstander Project, a film company dedicated to starting necessary conversations.
