where did the 60's scoop take place
Sixties Scoop The term Sixties Scoop refers to the practice, during the 1960s, of taking ("scooping up") children of Aboriginal peoples in Canada from their families for placing in foster homes or adoption. Provincially, each region had their specific adoption or fostering program and policy. For example, Saskatchewan had the Adopt Indian Metis (AIM) Program.[1] The children were typically placed for adoption or fostering in Canada though a few were placed in the United States or western Europe.[2] The term "Sixties scoop" was coined by Patrick Johnston in his 1983 report Native Children and the Child Welfare System.[3][4] It is a variation of the broader term Baby Scoop Era to refer to the period from the late 1950s to 1980s when large numbers of children were taken from their parents for adoption. However and henceforth, the continued practice of taking Indigenous, Inuit and Metis children from their families for placing in foster homes or adoption is termed Millennium Scoop[5]
Rich Porter Richard "Rich" Porter (July 26, 1965 – January 4, 1990) was an American drug dealer who rose to prominence in Harlem during the War on Drugs in the mid-1980s; police described him as being a "high-level crack dealer" who "sold about $50,000 worth of crack a week".[1] The 2002 film Paid in Full was based on Rich and his partners Azie Faison and Alpo Martinez.
