Discovering Dominga
When Denese Becker, an Iowa housewife who was adopted, looks into her
birthplace in Guatemala, finds that she is the last survivor of her family after
a massacre of Mayan peasants. Denese's journey home is both a voyage of
self-discovery that permanently alters her relationship to her American family
and a political awakening that sheds light on an act of genocide. Event located at The National Center for the Preservation of Democracy at 111
North Central Ave. (directly across from the Japanese American National Museum)
in downtown Los Angeles. This event is hosted by Lorin Morgan-Richards and Tahesha Knapp-Christensen
and sponsored by The Japanese American National Museum, The Southern California
Indian Center, Inc., Haramokngna American Indian Cultural Center, and The
