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.”

“Super interesting story but painful narration. Hope her voice gets more natural as we go along. It’s awkward and uncomfortable to hear. Super short podcast but middle 5 minutes is all advertising, meaning the podcast is only like 20 minutes. Disappointed.”

“Interesting; want to know more about so many of the issues and people mentioned. Yes the narration was a little slow, but maybe will improve with experience? Also I like the shorter length.”
