Join the Seattle Public Library, SIFF, and Longhouse Media for the West Coast debut of Dawnland: A documentary about cultural survival and stolen children: inside the first truth and reconciliation commission for Native Americans.
Stolen children, racism, devastated families, and cultural genocide encompass this searing documentary about government sanctioned atrocities committed against Native peoples in the United States. The film spotlights in particular the Wabanaki people through a historic truth and reconciliation commission, and their resulting findings.

This film screening is free and everyone is welcome, however space is limited at library events. Please come early to make sure you get a seat. Due to the fire code, we can’t exceed the maximum capacity for our rooms
This event is the first of three screenings of films by and about Indigenous people to be held at The Seattle Public Library in 2018. Each film was selected by local filmmaker Tracy Rector in a project that grew out of recommendations from the Seattle Public Library’s Native Advisory Council. Watch for additional films in October and December.
This event is supported by The Seattle Public Library Foundation
