Panel to Share Findings on Removal of Native Children from Homes

AUGUSTA, Maine - After a two-year investigation, a special panel will share its findings into the systematic removal of native children from their tribal homes.

The five-member Wabanaki-State Child Welfare Truth and Reconciliation Commission will also make recommendations to correct past abuses and promote healing.

It's the first time such an effort has been undertaken by Indian nations and a state government. And those involved say the work has been validating at a crucial time in tribal-state relations.
