Indian kids 14 times more likely to be placed in foster care

MinnPost - Indian kids 14 times more likely to be placed in foster care:

"In the footsteps of the riveting NPR report on American Indian children in foster homes in Sout Dakota, Sasha Aslainian of MPR files a piece on the situation here in Minnesota: “In Minnesota, American Indian children are 14 times more likely to be placed in out-of-home care than white children — the widest such gap in the nation. Officials place 66 percent of the children with relatives or with American Indian foster families. Even as the total number of Minnesota children in foster care dropped 44 percent in the last decade, the number of American Indian children placed in foster care dropped by only 16 percent.”
