Retro Report and WORLD Channel
Generations Stolen
Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the 1978 Indian Child Welfare Act, which enacted legal protections for Native families and affirmed the authority of tribal governments over their children. Retro Report and WORLD Channel explore the history of Indigenous child removal and forced adoptions in Generations Stolen. Judges described the video as “beautifully done,” and “moving and impactful.” One judge said, “I was thrilled to learn that this film is being used in classrooms to educate kids about our history and the importance of ICWA for Native peoples. Bravo.”
