Thanks for the link!
tl;dr - the letter is 100% authentic, and the fact check is an interesting read.
Of course the details are even more horrific.
It's absolutely fucked up that there's a 2010 law (HB1104) preventing abuse cases from proceeding if the victim is over 40.
Who does that help, other than the Church? Fuck its constituent author, Steven Smith. He's the defense attorney for the Congregation of the Priests of the Sacred Heart, the religious order that has run St. Joseph’s Indian School in Chamberlain, South Dakota, since 1927. He is directly responsible for continued injustice and abuse.

I couldn’t even read half of this before I was overwhelmed by the urge to vomit
Those people paid $10 for the forced child labor of a kidnapped child. Disgusting.
Sometimes I hope Hell is real for people like this
Running this through some random inflation calculator, looks like that would be ~$119 USD today.
Holy shoot. I had 1852 in my mind, not 1952. Ducking hell.
Still an excellent bargain at that price.
I hear the Orientals are cheaper
Usually when someone pulls out the inflation calculator it's like: in todays money it's actually a quazillion dollars. But nope, still cheap
Price just went up nowadays, some white couple is, IIRC, still actively trying to overturn cultural reintegration agreements to keep indigenous children with their nation of origin or at least a related one.
The reason they're doing this is because they already managed to get away with stealing one child and now they're using sibling unity to try and fight the nation in question for the right to snatch them away when they've not only been reintegrated, but reunited with bio family members capable of taking care of them.
How much these days?
It's way more expensive, especially for the one I have in mind
America has always been great and we just need to defeat trump and fascism will end. /S
