A screening of “Dawnland,” a documentary examining the impact of indigenous child removal in the U.S., will begin at 6 p.m., Dec. 6 in the Nebraska Union Auditorium. The screening is free and open to the public.

“Dawnland” reveals the untold story of Indigenous child removal in the United States through the first government-endorsed truth and reconciliation commission in the nation, tasked with investigating the devastating impact of Maine’s child welfare practices on Native American communities.

The event is presented by NET, Nebraska’s PBS and National Public Radio stations, in partnership with the Center for Civic Engagement at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. A popcorn bar will be available during the film, and a panel discussion will follow.
