The U.S. Supreme Court announced Monday that it will hear several cases challenging the constitutionality of the Indian Child Welfare Act, a federal law used in Native child adoption cases.
ICWA provides Tribes with an opportunity to intervene when state child welfare and adoption agencies consider whether to remove a Native child from a home. The children can be enrolled citizens of the Tribe or be eligible for membership status.
Many of the arguments opposing ICWA say that law illegally discriminates against non-Native families based on race when placing Native children in homes.
