Amanda Phillips discusses the devastating failures of the U.S. government to properly implement information management principles during the enactment of family separation policies, both as part of the Indian Adoption Project of 1958 and the separation of migrant families in 2018. Like Native American tribes have experienced for the last 50+ years, the children of asylum seekers and other migrant families have been separated from their loved ones, through information management failures, many of these children have been systematically deprived of their parents and culture as a result. Consequently, a new generation of vulnerable children face the increased risk of experiencing cultural genocide due to the U.S. separation policies resulting in a loss of fundamental cultural knowledge systems, languages, and identities.
