Join us and Wabanaki REACH for a free screening of Dawnland
Thursday, January 23rd - 6 - 9:00 pm - Hallowell
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 addressing the intersections between the Indian Child Welfare Act, Criminal Legal System Reform, and Food Access for Indigenous communities.
"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 Maple Hill Farm Inn and Conference Center from 6-9pm on Thursday, January 23rd.
