SUMMARY:CANCELLED - Dawnland
DESCRIPTION:Due to concerns about the spread of COVID-19\, this event is CA
 NCELLED. We'll try to reschedule it for a later date.\nFor most of the 20t
 h century\, government agents systematically forced Native American childr
 en from their homes and placed them with white families. As recently as th
 e 1970s\, one in four Native children nationwide were living in non-Native
  foster care\, adoptive homes\, or boarding schools. Many children experie
 nced devastating emotional and physical harm by adults who mistreated them
  and tried to erase their cultural identity. Now\, for the first time\, t
 hey are being asked to share their stories.\n\nIn Maine\, a historic inves
 tigation—the first government-sanctioned truth and reconciliation commis
 sion (TRC) in the United States—begins a bold journey. For over two year
 s\, Native and non-Native commissioners travel across Maine. They gather t
 estimony and bear witness to the devastating impact of the state’s child
  welfare practices on families in Maliseet\, Micmac\, Passamaquoddy and Pe
 nobscot tribal communities. Collectively\, these tribes make up the Wabana
 ki people\n\nThe feature-length documentary "Dawnland" follows the TRC to 
 contemporary Wabanaki communities to witness intimate\, sacred moments of 
 truth-telling and healing. With exclusive access to this groundbreaking pr
 ocess and never-before-seen footage\, the film reveals the untold narrativ
 e of Indigenous child removal in the United States.\n\nThe TRC discovers t
 hat state power continues to be used to break up Wabanaki families\, threa
 tening the very existence of the Wabanaki people. Can they right this wron
 g and turn around a broken child welfare system? "Dawnland" foregrounds th
 e immense challenges that this commission faces as they work toward truth\
 , reconciliation\, and the survival of all Indigenous peoples.\n\nLiving a
 t the easternmost edge of Turtle Island\, the Wabanaki people are the firs
 t to see the new day’s light. If harmony and justice begin in the east\,
  as some prophesize\, surely the TRC is a sign of this beginning.
