67: How state courts use disability to remove Native children from their homes
Episode description
This is the second part of the two-part series about how disability has been and continues to be used as a way to control and profit from Native populations.
Last week, we heard from UC Berkeley's Ella Callow about how the U.S. government built a psychiatric institution in the early 1900s to imprison Native Americans.
Today, Callow discusses how Native communities are still forced to exist in societal systems that use disability to justify taking Native children away from their families, and to ultimately control, and make money from, their lives.
