Episode 858: How to Tell a Dumb American Story
Prologue: Prologue
Ira Glass
Sierra Crane Murdoch has been on our show before. She reports on
Indigenous communities out west. Back in 2023, she got a call from a man
in Montana, Kevin Howard. He said his daughter Mika had been killed in a
hit-and-run. Local police were dragging their feet. He thought the
driver might get away with it. The driver was white. Mika was Native, a
citizen of the Blackfeet Nation.
Lots
of Native people are killed in hit-and-runs, and the drivers are rarely
brought to justice. And Sierra thought she might be able to document
why by diving into Mika's case, because Mika's parents had recordings of
nearly all their interactions with law enforcement. Mika's parents did
some other things, too. They were very strategic and did some
extraordinary things other families had not tried to make sure Mika's
case was one that the authorities could not ignore.
That
story and how it unfolded, and what it's like to be a couple making
that happen, that's going to be our whole show today. From WBEZ Chicago,
it's This American Life. I'm Ira Glass. And with that, I hand it over to Sierra.

ADOPTION TRUTH
As the single largest unregulated industry in the United States, adoption is viewed as a benevolent action that results in the formation of “forever families.”
The truth is that it is a very lucrative business with a known sales pitch. With profits last estimated at over $1.44 billion dollars a year, mothers who consider adoption for their babies need to be very aware that all of this promotion clouds the facts and only though independent research can they get an accurate account of what life might be like for both them and their child after signing the adoption paperwork.
