Ohio State to host documentary screening, discussion on Native American adoption

The Ohio State University College of Education and Human Ecology (EHE) will host a screening of the documentary “Blood Memory: A Story of Removal and Return,” which explores the issue of Native American children who are placed in foster care and adopted outside of their tribes.

The screening is at 5 p.m. Wednesday at the Fawcett Center, 2400 Olentangy River Road. The documentary will be followed by a discussion about research into the issue by Ohio State professor Ashley Landers and Sandy White Hawk, the subject of the film and a Native American woman who was removed from her Sicangu Lakota tribe and adopted by a white family at age 18 months in 1955.
