The Permanent Commission on the Status of Racial, Indigenous, and Tribal Populations is partnering with Wabanaki REACH to offer a film screening of the movie “Dawnland” directed by Adam Mazo and Ben Pender-Cudlip. This screening will be followed by a panel discussion.

 

"Dawnland" is the untold story of Indigenous child removal in the US through the nation's first-ever government-endorsed truth and reconciliation commission, which investigated the devastating impact of Maine’s child welfare practices on the Wabanaki people. By educating ourselves about the reality of this history, we work to ensure atrocities such as these never happen again.

 

The film screening will take place at UMaine on Tuesday, May 13. Additional details coming soon!
