Description
Learn proven ways to find Native American and Indigenous ancestors when names change, records are wrong, and family ties were broken by boarding schools, foster care, and adoption. Panelists from tribes across North America explain how to work with inconsistent names, fix gaps in census records made by outsiders, and use oral history alongside written records. Each name you recover brings a family member home and helps keep their story alive for the generations to come.
