The 1st time I spoke out on any Native issue was the #BabyVeronica case involving a Cherokee child, trafficked across state lines in a for-profit adoption.

Media coverage of her Cherokee dad, of her tribe, of her right to both was *atrocious*. Ignorance, racism, clear bias. https://t.co/VZml4eftwo
⚖️#SCOTUS agreed to hear 4 consolidated cases that test #ICWA provisions. Here is @najournalists ICWA reporting guide. ‘Cases may be newsworthy, however, the way journos report can encourage anti-Indigenous sentiments & negative behavior toward tribes.’ - https://t.co/GZUXugx6vM pic.twitter.com/tHwnA2JvSC

@DrPhil hosted a show painting #ICWA, the law enacted to slow the decades-long theft of Native kids, & Veronica’s tribe badly. @NPR was just as biased. Journalistic integrity & the powerful money interests backing ICWA attacks, nowhere in sight.

This blog posted many times about BABY V and the propaganda and misinformation and outright lies about the Baby Veronica case and how (adoption) trafficking in children (like her case) was rampant among affluent whites. Dr. Phil "Hollywoodized" Adoption Propaganda is what I called it. TL Hentz, Blog Editor
