Join us for a screening of a documentary film about Brenda Commander’s rise to leadership in a world dominated by patriarchy, poverty, domestic violence, and ethnic discrimination to become the first woman chief of the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians. Following the screening will be a discussion with the filmmakers, Pam Maus and Susanna Liller, and Chief Brenda Commander regarding the challenges women in leadership roles face, particularly among Indigenous peoples.
Midcoast Women provides opportunities for area women of all ages, including trans women and genderqueer women, to find and strengthen our individual and collective voices.
