Part Two: A song for orphans
On last week’s podcast, Imprint reporter Nancy Marie Spears talked to Sandy White Hawk about her early adoption story, and the implications of Indigenous adoptions on cultural and spiritual childhood wellbeing. In this episode they finish that journey by detailing the ways Sandy navigated through being a mother while finding her selfhood and sense of purpose, and her recovery from substance and alcohol abuse.
In this conversation, you will also hear from Sandy's daughter, Dyani, about her mom’s healing journey and the trickle-down effects of cultural reclamation. So here it is, part two of The Imprint Weekly Podcast’s interview with Sandy White Hawk.
