Native Adoptions Law In Federal Court

Informações:

Synopsis

The Indian Child Welfare Act gives tribal governments a voice in native child welfare and adoption cases. That law is being challenged in federal court this week. A Portland nonprofit has filed an amicus brief in support of the 40-year-old law. We hear from Sarah Kastelic, executive director of the National Indian Child Welfare Association and Oregon State Rep. Tawna Sanchez (D-Portland).
