In March 2016, two Navajo siblings filed suit
against the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—also known as
LDS or Mormon Church—in the Window Rock District of the Navajo Nation
Court. In their suit, the siblings allege that they were sexually abused
numerous times in several homes during their time in the “Indian
Placement Program,” a foster care program operated by the church. All
names and identifying information of the plaintiffs have been changed to
protect their privacy.
