Dawnland Film Screening

Date: Oct 11, 2021 at 12:00pm to 1:30pm
In honor of Indigenous Peoples’ Day, the Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion invites you to join us for a film screening and community discussion, in-person or virtually! For most of the 20th century, government agents systematically forced Native American children from their homes and placed them with white families. As recently as the 1970’s, one in four Native children nationwide were living in non-Native foster care, adoptive homes, or boarding schools. Many children experienced devastating emotional and physical harm by adults who mistreated them and tried to erase their cultural identity. Now, for the first time, they are being asked to share their stories.
