American Indian Symposium – Generation After Generation: We are Coming Home
Sandra White Hawk
Friday, 05 Apr 2002 at 8:00 pm – Great Hall, Memorial Union
Sandra White Hawk is an adopted person - removed from the Rosebud Reservation at 18 months of age - who found the need to address the practices of placement and adoption of American Indian children. She is Sicangu Lakota and a Navy veteran who faced many challenges while serving in the military, but found that recovering her identity was the most challenging. She works with adoptees and families in accordance with traditional spiritual heritage and the policies of the Indian Child Welfare Act.
