Separating Children from their Tribal Culture
From
The Hill Congress Blog:
Prior to the passage of the Indian Child Welfare Act
(ICWA) in 1978, it had become apparent that Native American children
were systematically being taken from their homes and either put up for
adoption or placed in foster care. The rate at which Native American
children were taken was especially alarming to tribal nations that
depend on their youth to preserve a truly unique heritage. Further, the
disproportionate rate of these separations raised suspicions that they
were based less in decisions about the well-being of children and
perhaps more about separating youth from their tribal culture. In a
repeat of the forced boarding school era, tribal nations were once again
being told that to save their children, they had to be removed from
their communities and cultures.
