Defending the Circle: Countering the Attack on the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA)
Abstract
The Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) was enacted in 1978 to stop the harm caused to Indian children who were removed from their Indian nations to be adopted by non-Indians, without the consent of the concerned Indian Nations, and end the long-term damage caused to the tribes by the practice. ICWA, considered the "gold standard" of child welfare practice, initiated a significant improvement in child welfare policy in practice.
