US: ICWA Puts Tribes’ Interests Ahead of Children’s (Opinion)
Chronicle of Social Change – May 10, 2016
Congress passed ICWA in 1978 to alleviate a national crisis, the wholesale separation of Indian children from their families. But in attempting to right a wrong, Congress created a new threat to the safety and well-being of Indian children. It established a weaker set of protections for Native American children and subordinated their best interest to that of the tribe.
