Dawnland: A Documentary About Cultural Survival and Stolen Children
The Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights Project (www.monroecc.edu/go/holocaust)
invites you to the second installment of the Spring 2019 Human Rights Film
Series: Dawnland
"For decades, child welfare authorities have been forcibly removing Native
American children from their homes to "save" them from being Indian. In Maine,
the first official 'truth and reconciliation commission' in the Unites States
begins an unprecedented investigation. Dawnland goes behind-the-scenes
as this historic body deals with difficult truths, questions the meaning of
reconciliation, and charts a new course for state and tribal relations." https://upstanderproject.org/dawnla

The 2019 film series highlights current Restorative Practices and
Reconciliation Efforts taking place at national, state, and community
levels. Each documentary covers the practical challenges, moral quandaries, and
incremental successes of these efforts. Discussion will be facilitated by MCC
faculty and students as well as community members. These guests will lend their
experience, expertise, and valuable perspectives to the discussion.
The HGHRP's 2019 Human Rights Film Series is designed to complement academic
and co-curricular, HGHRP-hosted events held during the Spring 2019 semester in
