Removing Native children from their homes and separating them from their cultural identity, language, and tradition is profoundly harmful. Native children have better life outcomes and a deeper understanding of their heritage when they have access to their tribes and culture. — PolitiTweet.org

Preceded By

ACLU @ACLU

Congress passed ICWA in 1978 to address the nationwide crisis of Native children being taken from their families and placed into non-Native homes. This forced removal was a key tool in the genocide of Indigenous peoples and cultures, threatening the future of tribes. — PolitiTweet.org

Followed By

ACLU @ACLU

The Supreme Court has repeatedly upheld federal laws like ICWA that specifically apply to tribes, recognizing that these laws are rooted in tribal political sovereignty rather than race. Tribes have a right to self-govern and to preserve their cultural identities. — PolitiTweet.org
