    Thanks for Mr. Fisher’s story and notice of his book. As we all know stories such as his are still rampant in the U.S. and Canada.. A number of such stories are collected in the anthology,Children of the Dragonfly, from the University of Arizona Press. That book puts the “Sixties Scoop” and other such phenomena in the context of history leading up to the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 in the U.S. and Canadian policy changes as well. Also, a powerful story by Louise Erdrich, “American Horse,” is in Spider Woman’s Granddaughters.
