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.

THE UPSTANDER PROJECT
Adam Mazo & Mishy Lesser Upstander Project Co-Founders <adam@upstanderproject.org>
There is a long and steep road that we must climb together if we want to ensure that Black Lives truly matter in the U. S. and elsewhere. We would like to walk with you on this essential journey.
Upstander Project is here to offer films, learning resources, and workshops so we can all learn about the history and contemporary reality of the place called the United States. If your inbox is like ours, it is bursting with beautifully curated lists of essential resources on how to be an anti-racist with a focus on African American history and current reality. To offer an Indigenous perspective, we share this list of anti-racist resources curated by our dear friend and colleague, Claudia Tekina’ru Fox Tree.
