189. Elizabeth Blake: "Connecting Threads: Five Siblings Lost and Found"
Manage episode 432809000 series 2894733
Elizabeth (EM) Blake has a recently released graphic memoir called Connecting Threads: Five Siblings Lost and Found.
She is one of five children who were removed from their first family over time and placed in foster care, and most were adopted when young. She didn't know until decades later that she had lived with her first mother for weeks or months.
Because of closed adoptions, it took decades to connect scarce information to find her siblings.
She and her siblings have Ojibwe or A-nish-i-naabe and Northern European roots. Some are enrolled tribal members, and all have Indigenous heritage.
After many years, they began to find each other, one by one. Because her siblings did not grow up together, it took time to know each other, feel solid in their identity, and develop a deep sense of belonging. This happy ending came after a complicated childhood with many challenges.
