In 2012, the state of Maine began an effort to address a disturbing part of its history and present: the systematic removal of Indigenous children from their families and tribal communities through boarding schools and the foster care system. The documentary "Dawnland" follows the work of the Maine Wabanaki-State Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

ICWA has just been declared unconstitutional in Brackeen v. Zinke, Cherokee Nation. The Texas US District Court found that ICWA is racially based, therefore it violates the Equal Protection Clause. The case is on appeal to the 5th Circuit where it is expected to be upheld. So much for reconciling Indian Child removal as it has just received the green light to go forward.
