Completing America's Story: How Native Americans Shaped U.S.

The Supreme Court has decided to uphold key provisions of the Indian Child Welfare Act, giving preference for adoption of Native American children to their tribes and families. The law was passed 45 years ago to protect tribal sovereignty. In a new book, historian Ned Blackhawk recasts the story of America to include Native history and explains why it is essential to understanding modern America.
