WORLD PREMIERE/ NATIONAL PREMIERE / NEW ENGLAND PREMIERE / VERMONT PREMIERE
Since the 19th century, Native American children were sent to boarding schools designed to “Kill the Indian… Save the Man”, destroying Tribal languages, cultural values, practices, and traditions through assimilation. In Oklahoma, generations of Native Americans were educated through the Concho Indian School from 1871 to 1984. Restoring Néške’emāne follows environmentalist Damon Dunbar who has a dream of restoring the land, preserving tribal history and honoring the attendees of the Concho Indian School in order to speak truth to history.
