“Natives need to continue to fight for our rights and what the federal government has promised. My husbands mother had him in AZ and he was taken due to her getting arrested multiple times. She did have sisters and brothers in the state but I’m not sure if they ever tried getting him back when he was in foster care. His mother was asked if the foster family could adopt and the one good thing she said was he was Native American and had a grandfather back in NM. Our Pueblo was contacted and Social Services along with grandparents were able to get him back to our tribe. This is a blessing, yes he did grow up with all privileges he might have with the white foster family but he grew up learning our native language, culture and beliefs which is more than any nonnative family can give a native child. He is lucky to have a big extended family who loves and cares since grandfather passed.”
