Film Screening of Dawnland

Gathering at 5:30pm; Film screening at 6:30pm 
The Little Theater, 240 East Avenue, Rochester, NY
Tickets can be purchased for $10 at the door

The Center for Dispute Settlement is proud to host an upcoming screening of the film, Dawnland, in honor of the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG2S) and 2SLGBTQI+ people, also known as "Red Dress Day," a day to raise awareness and remember those lost to violence. 

Dawnland is a documentary that explores the history of child welfare authorities removing Native American children from their homes in Maine, focusing on the nation's first government-endorsed truth and reconciliation commission investigating the devastating impact on the Wabanaki people. 

To honor the Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirits who were stolen from us, we will read a few of their names in the garden of Christ Church (141 East Avenue, on the RoCo side). At 5:45pm we will gather in front of The Little Theater on East Avenue and make the (3-5 minute) walk up the street to the church garden. Please consider joining us, all are welcome.

This film will be captioned.
