Oh sweetie. I'm so sorry. I totally did not intend to freak you out. Wow. I read that first part of the NPR investigation and I have no words. Those kids, being pulled out of their homes because the state gets more money for them?!? I'm glad those babies were returned, but that poor family!
Here's an attorney working on the Lakota People's Law Project http://www.dailykos.com/blog/Daniel%20Sheehan He has contact info for various people and committees at the bottom of the page. I'm sort of stunned that there's a US Senate Committee on Indian Affairs - how has that name not changed?

I'm trying to figure out who I can write, or what I can do, to address this situation.
