ICWA Upheld by Supreme Court!!!

 I generally avoid politics here but this is a big one.


The Supreme court UPHELD Indian Child Welfare Act.  This is such an important law.  I can't even start on why and how because that is a graduate seminar in history, law, genocide and more.


For the full background, or fuller because there is no way to contain the impacts that this law was meant to correct in a webpage, book or other written material, check out these pages:


Native American Rights Fund
