  To go even further back one hundred years.  The Bureau of Indian Affairs was in stark contrast in 1824 when federal Indian policy was rooted in war, blood, and death. It’s not surprising that the bureau was first planted in the War Department before being rooted permanently in the U.S. Department of the Interior in 1849. READ Questions?

    SOURCE Assembly of First Nations National Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak says First Nations children shouldn’t be placed with for-profit companies in Ontario’s child-welfare system. She made her remarks in an exclusive interview with Global News after the broadcast and publication online of a year-long, multi-part investigation that revealed allegations of targeting and mistreatment of Indigenous youth by some group homes. “That’s appalling to hear,” Chief Woodhouse Nepinak told Global News. “We’ve always known that our kids were a target. “I don’t think our children should be f ..read more

Yikes! I uploaded a new and expanded edition of the Kindle ebook and paperback today on Amazon.  The paperback is not "live" yet - so it's not available today. (I had one correction to make about SCALPS and added even more history.) The new size will allow this book to be sold on Bookshop and purchased by libraries. NEW ISBN: 979-821838400-5 (With a lower price for the paperback: $15.00) I also redesigned the paperback book cover... it's been a wacky crazy day.  Want to read the pdf?  Shoot me an email: tracelara@pm.me XOX Trace  p.s. - the first edition, if you have one ..read more

    Native American children make up more than a third of the foster care caseload in Montana, despite representing less than 10% of the state’s child population. While there’s a broad consensus among child welfare experts that this outsized representation is a problem, there exists no collective strategy to address it. The Montana Free Press series Keeping the Kids, supported by a data fellowship through the USC Annenberg Center for Health Journalism, explores the available data and highlights examples of local solutions around the state. This article focuses on MTFP’s analysis of ..read more

By Trace Hentz (blog editor) REBLOG from 2019 I run across comments by adoptive parents and PAPS (potential adoptive parents) asking why is it wrong for non-Natives to adopt Native kids?  Volumes have been written about this, on this blog, and in medical studies and published reports but we STILL have people who don't understand. Curtis and Ashok Kaltenbaugh were born in Manitoba and are of First Nations ancestry. After the 1980 death of their younger brother, at ages of 7 and 4 respectively, they were removed from the custody of their birth mother and placed for adoption with a middle-cl ..read more
