520    "On June 25, 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court heard the case 
       Adoptive Couple vs. Baby Girl, which pitted adoptive 
       parents Matt and Melanie Capobianco against baby 
       Veronica's biological father, Dusten Brown, a citizen of 
       the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma. Veronica's biological 
       mother had relinquished her for adoption to the 
       Capobiancos without Brown's consent. Although Brown 
       regained custody of his daughter using the Indian Child 
       Welfare Act (ICWA) of 1978, the Supreme Court ruled in 
       favor of the Capobiancos, rejecting the purpose of the 
       ICWA and ignoring the long history of removing Indigenous 
       children from their families. In A Generation Removed, a 
       powerful blend of history and family stories, award-
       winning historian Margaret D. Jacobs examines how 
       government authorities in the post-World War II era 
       removed thousands of American Indian children from their 
       families and placed them in non-Indian foster or adoptive 
       families. By the late 1960s an estimated 25 to 35 percent 
       of Indian children had been separated from their families.
       Jacobs also reveals the global dimensions of the 
       phenomenon: These practices undermined Indigenous families
       and their communities in Canada and Australia as well. 
       Jacobs recounts both the trauma and resilience of 
       Indigenous families as they struggled to reclaim the care 
       of their children, leading to the ICWA in the United 
       States and to national investigations, landmark apologies,
       and redress in Australia and Canada"--|cProvided by

       their primary families and placing them with adoptive
