Boston University invites students and staff
to attend a special screening of Healing
Nation, a documentary by Symbia Barnaby,
an Indigenous filmmaker of Haida and
Mi’kmaq descent. The film sheds light on
the lived impacts of colonial violence and
the resilience of Indigenous communities, as
it highlights the trauma of generations of
Indigenous children being taken from their
families. Following the screening, a panel
discussion will feature the filmmaker and
members of Massachusetts tribal
communities, fostering critical dialogue on
social justice, equitable access, and inclusive
practices for Indigenous people.
