The book steers the debate on inter culture, international adoption, custody, parenting and child rearing to the next level. It uses the Right to self -determination and principles beyond decolonization as the framework to consider the recent US Supreme Court ruling on "Baby Veronica" a Native American child, right to Identity and culture. This is a framework rarely engaged in by the "lukewarm defenders" of indigenous rights to discuss complicated issues involved in adoption of Native children by non-Native parents under the Indian Child Welfare Act. The cover picture on the book is a reminder of the past and current success and resistance to violation of right to identity and culture. The culmination is the use of court systems to advance "mono humanistic" and Euro-eccentric standards used determine concepts like the best in of child, permanency and loving home.
