ICWA is not perfect.

“While I appreciate the necessity of ICWA, Ms. Nagle reports with extreme bias in support of it, conveniently leaving out facts for her listeners. More specifically, the case of US v Baby Girl. Veronica was the result of an emotionally abusive relationship that ended and Mr. Brown did not want her. He encouraged the biological mom to get an abortion because he refused to pay child support unless she married him which she had no desire to do as he was, again, emotionally abusive. She wanted the child but could not afford her and therefore opted for open adoption. When Brown’s own mother (Veronica’s grandmother) discovered this, she is the one who told Brown to sue for custody. When they won, they would not allow the biological mom any contact with Veronica. All of this information is readily available to Ms. Nagle; she chose to conceal it from her listeners. Veronica’s case was not about native rights - it was a domestic issue about control and the abuser invoked ICWA to win. Veronica is back where she belongs - with the family her Latina, non-native mother chose for her. A well produced podcast, and I listened in full, but after listening to this particular episode, I wondered what else Ms. Nagle omitted or lied about.”

“I grew up in Oklahoma near the Ponca Tribe. I learned so many new things about the place I grew up from this podcast. No one talks about the land, the rights of the tribes and the history of their people. I am really enjoying it and can’t wait until the next episode. Thank you!”
