Native Children Belong in Native Homes
Manage episode 357392084 series 2490277
Brooke Pepion Swaney (Blackfeet/Salish) and Kendra Potter (Lummi) join All My Relations for “Native Children Belong in Native Homes.” This heartfelt, vulnerable and raw story is centered around their film, “Daughter of A Lost Bird”, which follows Kendra, an adult Native adoptee, as she reconnects with her birth family, discovers her Lummi heritage, and confronts issues of her own identity. Her singular story echoes many affected by the Indian Child Welfare Act and the Indian Adoption Project.
