Preventing Child Maltreatment in the U.S.: American Indian and Alaska Native Perspectives
«“A thoughtful read on the history of child maltreatment. Origin stories are important, and this book presents a native perspective that shifts the questions of how, what, and why from individual families to the broader perspective of nation building that degraded and, in many ways, eliminated support networks and destroyed tribal identity for many children. This book clearly illustrates these heartbreaking outcomes while also giving hope by restoring the origin stories of identity and reclaiming lost children.”»

"This book by Royleen Ross, Julii Green, and Milton Fuentes is essential reading for anyone interested in the prevention of child maltreatment in American Indian/Alaska Native communities. The stories in this book highlight the loving, rich history of these communities and how they care for and protect their children today."
