6:00 PM until 7:30 PM
The Story Behind the Renaming of Columbus Day to Indigenous People’s Day
Maulian Dana, the first-ever appointed Ambassador for the Penobscot Nation and our presenter, explains that “what we choose to honor and celebrate has impacts on both the legacy and the modern day realities of colonizing and Indigenous cultures.” Previously Maulian was a member of the Penobscot Tribal Council and is a founding member of Not Your Mascot Maine.
