As a teenager, VICE journalist Adreanna Rodriguez was given a choice that would alter the course of her life. Later, she started to wonder if she made the right decision... a decision that many of her Native American ancestors had been denied.
In this collaboration with Snap Judgment, Adreanna travels from California to the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in North Dakota, and she looks at what it meant to be separated from her mother and her tribe.
