A YouTube video is protesting the "illegal and unethical adoption of
Veronica Brown," a member of the Cherokee Nation. In the background,
father-daughter team Jorge and Alexa Narvaez sing a cover of 4 Non
Blondes' "What's Going On." The pair, who became a YouTube sensation
starting in 2010 with their cover of Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic
Zero's "Home,"
when Alexa was 6, gave permission for their video to be used with the
photo compilation of Veronica hugging and laughing with her dad.
Hearing the musical collaboration between a loving father and his
vibrant daughter amplifies the hard reality that Veronica Brown will
miss out on this kind of incredible bond with her biological father, who
lives in Oklahoma near the Cherokee reservation, while being raised by
an adoptive couple in South Carolina.
The video description asks viewers to learn more about the case at www.keepveronicahome.com or on Facebook at Standing our Ground for Veronica Brown.
