Tensions rise as the Indian Child Welfare Act heads to the Supreme Court this fall. Opponents of the law say that it discriminates against non-Native families and supporters believe that the upcoming challenge is a direct threat to tribal sovereignty. So this week on Vice News Reports, we revisit our collaboration with Snap Judgment where producer, Adreanna Rodriguez, recounts her experience of going through the child welfare system while being Native.
This story was produced by Adreanna Rodriguez and Shaina Shealy with additional editing by Anna Sussman and Mark Ristich.
This story was supported by the USC Center for Health Journalism, which helps journalists investigate health challenges and solutions in their communities – reporting that serves as a catalyst for change.
