LOST BIRDS: Four adopted women seek out their Native American roots
For more than one hundred years, U.S. policies and practices
separated Native American children from their families. Prior to 1978,
when the Indian Child Welfare Act went into effect, Native American
children were regularly plucked from their homes and sent to live with
non-Natives. Some children grew up surrounded by love; others suffered
enormous hardships. Many had a powerful desire to reconnect with the
culture that they had lost.
In "Lost Birds," we profile four adopted women who sought out their Native American roots.
Click below to read the stories of how each woman came to discover and connect with her true heritage.
