Kendra, an adult Native adoptee, reconnects with her birth family, discovers her Lummi heritage, and confronts issues of her own identity. Her moving and singular story represents many affected by the Indian Child Welfare Act and the Indian Adoption Project. This is a film that raises questions about identity and belonging, about culture and community.
***The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the directors and with Kendra, the daughter in the film***
The program will begin with a 10-minute short film by Roger Boyer, Lost Moccasin: a Sixties Scoop survivor (the mass removal of Indigenous children from their families and communities), goes on a journey to speak with his birth uncle about the day that Bradford and his siblings were all taken from their mother.
The festival program is in partnership with the Vermont Abenaki Artists Association
