In the 1950s, when Sandy White Hawk was a toddler, she was taken from her Lakota family on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Her adoption papers identify her as "a child of the Indian race," and her adoptive mother never let her forget it, telling her she was unwanted and shaming her for being "Indian." White Hawk medicated her traumas with drugs and alcohol. At age twenty-eight, she gained sobriety and reconnected with her birth relatives. As she learned what it means to be Lakota, she also learned that thousands of Native adoptees shared her experience--left to navigate racial and cultural complexities as children, with no way to understand what was happening to them. Mentored by a respected elder, White Hawk began to work with relatives who also had been separated by adoption and foster care, taken away from their families and communities. Fighting through her feelings of inadequacy, she accepted that she could use her voice to advocate. Ultimately, White Hawk founded the First Nations Repatriation Institute, an organization that addresses the post-adoption issues of Native American individuals, families, and communities. White Hawk lectures and presents widely on the issues around adoption. She exposes the myth that adoption is a path to protecting "unwanted children" from "unfit mothers," offering a child a "better chance at life." Rather, adoption, particularly transracial adoption, is layered in complexities. "A Child of the Indian Race" is Sandy White Hawk's story, and it is the story of her life work: helping other adoptees and tribal communities to reconcile the enormous harms caused by widespread removals." -- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6326679</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6326679</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[White Hawk, Sandy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6326679109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Story of Return</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781681342412/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA["A Child of the Indian Race"]]></title><description><![CDATA[Chronicles the true story of Sandy White Hawk, who as a toddler was taken from her Lakota family of the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota and raised by an adoptive white mother who always rubbed her heritage in her face, shaming her.

As an adoption survivor, Sandy set out to reclaim the missing pieces of her stolen past and discovered that her's was not an isolated case. Blood Memory explores the communal healing that is sparked by the return of this stolen generation, as Sandy helps organize the first annual Welcome Home Ceremony for Adopted and Foster Relatives of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe - the community from which she was removed over 60 years ago.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6223340</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6223340</guid><category><![CDATA[DVD]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6223340109</comments><format>DVD</format><subtitle>A Story of Removal and Return</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=&amp;upc=680140557512</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The People's Protectors]]></title><description><![CDATA[Four Native American veterans--Valerie Barber, Art Owen, Sandy White Hawk, Vince Beyl--reflect on their experiences in the military during the divisive Vietnam War and how their communities helped them carry their warrior legacy proudly.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6223341</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6223341</guid><category><![CDATA[DVD]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6223341109</comments><format>DVD</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=&amp;upc=680140557482</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Parenting as Adoptees]]></title><description><![CDATA["This first of its kind anthology weaves together the narratives of fourteen writers, giving readers insight into a pivotal phase in life that touches many domestic and international adoptees, but is rarely discussed."--Page 4 of cover.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5787439</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5787439</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5787439109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780988585805/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
