Dawnland

Description

Sunday, October 7th at 7 p.m. Co-Produced by the Abbe Museum. For decades, child welfare authorities have been removing Native American children from their homes to save them from being Indian. In Maine, the first official “truth and reconciliation commission” in the United States begins a historic investigation. DAWNLAND goes behind-the-scenes as this historic body grapples with difficult truths, redefines reconciliation, and charts a new course for state and tribal relations. $12 for adults, $10 for students We are honored to host two speakers - Esther Anne of Maine-Wabanaki REACH and Dawn Neptune Adams, a participant of the film - at this screening of DAWNLAND.
