I never talked about my Native life before. But I have learned people want to know about what my parents and aunts and uncles have taught me. I knew I was different moving about in the city. Going home to the Diné and Skokomish Reservations where my families live gives me strength knowing we’ve been here for thousands of years. I have learned that everywhere I walk, in the city and on reservations, is where I belong.” - Denise Emerson *Featured Artists:* Caroline Edwards (Swinomish) Denise Emerson (Diné/Twana) Karen Engel (Shoalwater Bay) Kimberly Miller (Skokomish) Abbey Pierson (Cowlitz) *Partner Events* *Dawnland - Social Justice Film Series* November 14, 2018, 5:30 - 8:30 PM Ethnic Cultural Theater, 3940 Brooklyn Ave. NE, Seattle, WA Free and Open to the Public https://www.facebook.com/events/337811583656075/ <http://www.spl.org/yehaw> Join the Kelly ECC, School of Social Work, and the Indigenous Wellness Research Institute as we view and discuss the critically acclaimed and anticipated documentary Dawnland, a story about cultural survival and stolen children.
