Adoption and Return with Sandy White Hawk

This week we revisit a 2015 conversation with Sandy White Hawk, one of five commissioners of Maine's historic Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Sandy is Sicangu Lakota and an enrolled member of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe, who was separated from her family and heritage, and adopted at 18 months old by a white family. She talks about the trauma of adoption and racism, and about the healing she found by reclaiming her identity.
