Today’s powerful conversation is the first of many conversations to come with Stephen Silva Brave about the ongoing struggles facing indigenous communities of the US, including the ongoing fight for sovereignty of the 573 Native America Nations throughout the United States. A large part of today’s conversation focuses on the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978, which is yet again, under attack by the state of Texas along with Chad and Jennifer Brackeen, a white family in Texas fighting to adopt native American children.
