Overview of a three-part investigation
Nearly 700 Native American children in South Dakota are being removed from their homes every year, sometimes in questionable circumstances. An NPR News investigation has found that the state is largely failing to place them according to the law. The vast majority of native kids in foster care in South Dakota are in nonnative homes or group homes, according to an NPR analysis of state records.

Just another chapter in our long history, beginning WITH our history, of screwing the Native Americans.
One way to help these kids is to support St. Joseph's Indian School.
