Dawnland Screening
Join us for a community screening of Dawnland Tuesday, November 16th @ 6:00 PM Mason Library Room 242
Excerpt from the website:
“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. Dawnland aired on Independent Lens on PBS in November 2018 reaching more than 2 million viewers. The film won a national Emmy® Award for Outstanding Research in 2019 and made the American Library Association’s list of 2020 Notable Videos for Adults: “a list of 15 outstanding films released on video within the past two years.”
This is the second of a short series of events we are planning for the month of November, Native American Heritage Month. We hope that you will join us!
