An important contribution to American Indian history told by its own lost children/adult survivors...An impressive second anthology of American Indian and First Nations adoptee narratives... Editors Patricia Busbee and Trace DeMeyer (Hentz) are writers and adoptees who reunited with their own lost relatives. From recent news about Baby Veronica to history like Operation Papoose, this book examines how Native American adoptees and their families experienced adoption and were exposed to the genocidal policies of governments who created Indian adoption projects.*******One quarter of all Indian children were removed from their families and placed in non-Indian adoptive and foster homes or orphanages, as part of the Indian Adoption Projects..... One study found that in sixteen states in 1969, 85 percent of the Indian children were placed in non-Indian homes.Where are these children now?
