NICWA was established in the wake of the passage of the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 (ICWA). Today, 48 years later, our dedication to upholding ICWA, and Tribal sovereignty with it, holds strong.
For decades, we have tirelessly protected ICWA and provided education and training on this restorative law to strengthen its implementation—but this work cannot be done alone. Support from our partners, Tribal leaders, and advocates strengthens our efforts to realize a future where all Native children and families belong to strong, culturally abundant communities.
Can we count on you to support our work in upholding ICWA and protecting Native children and families? 🔗Click the link in our comments to give today.
