Filmmaker Lorna Tucker’s “Amá” addresses the involuntary sterilization of thousands of Native American women at U.S. government-run hospitals, a practice that continued into the 1970s and included other women of color. Ms. Whitehorse is one of the Native women who experienced sterilization without consent and is a key figure in this moving documentary film.
