Briar Cliff University in Sioux City has been hosting a series of educational events this week dealing with Native American children who have been taken from their families and placed in the country’s child-welfare system. The events led up to the 15th Annual March to Honor Lost Children in Sioux City. Spokesman Frank Lamere says locally, the Department of Human Services has been doing a better job in recent years of finding a way to place Native American children from troubled homes with other relatives.
