After years of legal wrangling, the Supreme Court of Canada is set to decide Leticia's fate — will she stay with her former foster parents or go back to her First Nation with her birth mother? With more and more Indigenous children being put into care outside their communities, the decision unearths broader questions about who gets to decide what is best for a child — and what is really best for Leticia.
Host Falen Johnson and journalist Dawna Dingwall recount the court battle, the attitudes it uncovered, and the impact on 7 year old Leticia — including the judge’s decision to ban her birth mother, Linda, from seeing her until she’s 12.
