Dawnland: A documentary about cultural survival and stolen children (Senior College in the Community)

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 an 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.

We will view this award-winning documentary, following which we will share our thoughts.

This program will take place in person, in the Androscoggin Community Room.  No registration is required.

This program is part of a series entitled Senior College in the Community offered through a partnership with Lewiston Auburn Senior College.  Lewiston Auburn Senior College has a long-standing relationship with community partners.  In addition to this program, Senior College offers in-person, Zoom, and hybrid enrichment classes.  For more information about Senior College, visit https://laseniorcollege.org/.
