State v. Williams
TW: Child Death
This case mentions in passing native parents' fear that their child would be taken from them if they brought him to a hospital. This was not an idle fear. The Indian Child Welfare Act was passed in 1978, in part to address the history of native children being removed from their homes and placed in white homes in order to assimilate them. See this article for more information.
