Truth, healing, and systems change: the Maine Wabanaki-state child welfare truth and reconciliation commission process
Child Welfare.
2012.
Abstract
Maine state child welfare staff understand the Indian Child Welfare Act requirements, yet their knowledge of Wabanaki history is limited because it has excluded the voices of the Wabanaki people. A group of Native people and state representatives are creating a truth and reconciliation commission process in Maine, designed to reckon with this history as a way of improving the child welfare system and promoting healing for Wabanaki children and families.
