In 1978 the United States declared the forced assimilation of Native children into non-Native homes to be illegal with the passing of the Indian Child Welfare Act. Very recently in 2014 the ACLU had victory in South Dakota where the state was still carrying on with this willful act of genocide and the practice continues in other states today, but the ACLU will not represent individual victims of this human rights violation.
This legal defense fund is for the victims of genocide that live with exclusion from family, community and culture as a direct result of individual states continuing attempts to destroy Native communities. All attempts to find pro bono representation have failed.
If you could make only one donation to any single cause, this should be the one. Now is the time to tell corporate and government sponsors of genocide that it will no longer be tolerated on North American soil, or anywhere else, but the change will be here and now.
