Join the Native American Law Students Association, the Office of Students Affairs, Lillian Goldman Law Library, Yale Law School, Yale Native American Cultural Center, Yale Film Study Center, and CPTV for a special screening of DAWNLAND, a new documentary by Adam Mazo and Ben Pender-Cudlip. The Indie Lens Pop-Up screening will be followed by a discussion with Mazo, Esther Anne of Maine-Wabanaki REACH, and YLS alumna Jami Johnson.

DAWNLAND tells the story of the first government-sanctioned truth and reconciliation commission in the U.S., investigating the devastating impact of Maine’s child welfare practices on Native American communities. With intimate access to this groundbreaking process, the film reveals the untold narrative of Indigenous child removal in the United States.
