Wabanaki REACH, Community Concepts & YWCA Central Maine present the Emmy Award-winning film DAWNLAND  followed by a live panel discussion

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.Join us after the film for a live panel discussion moderated by Wabanaki REACH.Learn more about the film and watch the trailer at <a href="https://upstanderproject.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">upstanderproject.org</a>.EVENT SCHEDULE (all times Eastern)5:00pm Virtual film screening of Emmy Award-winning film Dawnland presented by Community Concepts, Inc., Upstander Project, and Wabanaki REACH6:00pm Virtual Opening Remarks by Shawn Yardley, CEO, Community Concepts, Inc.6:10pm Live Panel Discussion moderated by Wabanaki REACH FAQsHow will I access the screening?The screening will occur on the OVEE website.
