Haley Rapata: 作为原住民女性,在家庭中承担照顾者的角色是很自然的。我最近开始照顾我的两个弟弟,他们分别是15岁和10岁。我感觉我几乎一生都在照顾别人,因为我是15个孙辈中的老大。现在我21岁,需要全职照顾他们,这对我来说是一个很大的挑战。 Noa'lani: 我在25岁时接管了我的三个弟弟妹妹,帮助他们摆脱不健康的寄养关系。作为八个孩子中的第五个,我以成为姐姐为荣,并认真对待这个角色。很多原住民女性都承担了照顾者的角色,这反映了印第安人社区的现状。 Waikikiya Curly Bear Hilaire: 我接管了我的侄女妮可的照顾,她今年四岁。我不明白为什么我是照顾侄女的最后选择,因为我是她的家人。我年纪轻轻,不知道如何在法庭上为自己辩护,这对我来说是一个很大的挑战。 Santana Rabang: 我从小就像第二个妈妈一样照顾我的弟弟妹妹。我对不得不承担这些责任感到愤怒,这种情绪一直伴随着我。我在寄养家庭长大,这让我很难成为一个好监护人。这应该是我们父母的责任,而不是我们的。
