The Blood Memory crew traveled to Long Island, New York in late January to interview Bert Hirsch, former litigator and lead author of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA). He shared insights and personal opinions regarding the role and effectiveness of ICWA in a long and ongoing history of removal. Since then, we've focused on preparations for the National Indian Child Welfare Association's 34th Annual Protecting Our Children National American Indian Conference on Child Abuse and Neglect April 3-6, 2016 in Saint Paul, Minnesota. This is the second consecutive year in which we'll host an exhibition at the NICWA conference to share and discuss Blood Memory with attendees. Check out the 2015 re-cap video that we recently produced for NICWA: |
