Description

Join Sandra White Hawk, Lakota Elder, founder and Director of First Nations Repatriation Institute, and author of the memoir A Child of the Indian Race, for a discussion of her book and her work as an advocate for First Nations People impacted by the adoption and foster care system.  Removed from her birth family at 18 months, Elder White Hawk herself is part of a stolen generation.  In her book and the documentary Blood Memory, she recounts her journey of coming home to the Rosebud Sioux Tribe, where she discovered the powerful role that traditional song and ceremony can play in healing this intergenerational wound.
