Requests:  0 Summary:  "Through the story of Tamara, an abused Native American girl, North Dakota Senator Byron Dorgan tells the story of the many children living on Indian reservations. On a winter morning in 1990, Senator Byron Dorgan of North Dakota picked up the Bismarck Tribune. On the front page, a small girl gazed into the distance, shedding a tear. The headline: "Foster home children beaten--and nobody's helping". Dorgan, who had been working with American Indian tribes to secure resources, was distressed. He flew to the Standing Rock Indian Reservation to meet with five-year-old Tamara and her grandfather. They became friends. Then she disappeared. And he would search for her for decades until they finally found each other again. This book is her story, from childhood to the present, but it's also the story of a people and a nation. More than one in three American Indian/Alaskan Native children live in poverty. AI/AN children are disproportionately in foster care and awaiting adoption. Suicide among AI/AN youth ages 15 to 24 is 2.5 times the national rate. How have we allowed this to happen? As distressing a situation as it is, this is also a story of hope and resilience. Dorgan, who founded the Center for Native American Youth at the Aspen Institute, has worked tirelessly to bring Native youth voices to the forefront of policy discussions, engage Native youth in leadership and advocacy, and secure and share resources for Native youth. Readers will fall in love with this heartbreaking story, but end the book knowing what can be done and what they can do"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 973.0497 Do Checked In Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.0497 DORGAN Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.0497 Do Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Biography B Tamara Do Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 973.0497 Do Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.0497 Do Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.0497 Do Checked In Add Copy to MyList
