Interview with Tara Gatewood at NativeAmericaCalling.com
Adoption is a part of the storyline of many Native families and individuals. As one Native author who experienced adoption first hand writes, there is power in identity. Many Native adoptees are adopted out of their culture and are raised in another. For some, the journey back home can be a challenge to one’s own identity and at times the key to finding it.

Guests include Susan Devan Harness (Confederated Salish and Kootenai) Research Associate and Field Director/Tri-Ethnic Center for Prevention Research.
