Wrap Up & Reflection

In addition to work on your Concept Map, please complete this Evaluation Form for Monday's session.

As part of our learning this week we are providing access to two great documentaries and one short film. All of these films connect to so many of the themes from our course this week and explore the legacy of land dispossession and cultural genocide and efforts to heal and reclaim by different northeastern Native communities.

Watching these films is totally optional but highly recommended. We'll have a discussion for those who watch on Thursday morning before our class starting at 10:00 AM. Learn more about the films below.

We Still Live Here: Âs Nutayuneân (56 Minutes)

We Still Live Here tells a remarkable story of cultural revival by the Wampanoag of Southeastern Massachusetts. Their ancestors ensured the survival of the Pilgrims in New England, and lived to regret it. Now they are bringing their language home again.

Dawnland (54 minutes)

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. National News & Documentary Emmy® award winning film 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.

Dear Georgina (15 minutes)

Dear Georgina is a follow-up to Dawnland, in which Georgina Sappier-Richardson told a portion of her harrowing story of surviving foster care. Georgina is just one of many thousands of Indigenous children with similar stories.
