This documentary was completed during the second year of a four-year interagency collaboration project. The project was designed to significantly reduce the disproportionate placement of Alaska Native children in foster care through practice and decision-making changes at the front end of the child welfare system. The five-part documentary series captures: strategies for system change, cultivating leadership, changes in work approach, valuing & engaging cultures and communities, and understanding historical trauma.
