Radio Alhara راديو الحارة - Interview on the film Daughter of a Lost Bird

An interview with filmmaker Brooke Swaney and actor Kendra Mylnechuk who speak about their respective work on the documentary film Daughter of a Lost Bird. This is a write-up on the film from the Human Rights Watch film festival: This beautifully personal film documents her journey as she discovers her Native identity—finding her birth mother, April, also a Native adoptee, and returning to her Lummi homelands in Washington State. In Daughter of a Lost Bird, Kendra and April’s stories show the impact of intentional government actions to erase an entire culture, including the 1958 Indian Adoption Project, which removed Native children from their families and placed them in white homes in an effort to “kill the Indian and save the man.” This poignant story shows, as James Baldwin rightfully put it: "History is not the past. It is the present. We carry our history with us.” “I identified as white. This strange confusion of white guilt, and native anger. Where does it sit in me? And how do I sit with both of those things?” —Kendra Mylnechuk Potter, film participant, Daughter of a Lost Bird Music on this edition is by The Halluci Nation.
