PROMOTING SAFE & STABLE FAMILIES

Indian Child Welfare

This program is funded through federal grants from the Administration for Children and Families and the Office of Self Governance. It is designed to help keep children in their homes with the family or ensure that if there is a need for removal that federal guidelines are adhered to and the best interest of the child is first and foremost.

If your family is in a situation where the state is involved, please contact either of the ICW Social Workers. The Tribe is continually seeking foster families. If you are interested in sharing your home with a child in need, please contact Tara or Carmalita at the numbers listed below.

1978 Indian Child Welfare Act

The 1978 Indian Child Welfare Act was designed to protect the Indian Family from unwarranted interference by the Anglo culture.  When a child is involuntarily removed from his/her home, it is the intent of the “Act” to place a child with an immediate family

member, an extended family member or a member of the child’s tribe/or other Indian Families. If your family is involved in a State Court proceeding, the Tribe may be able to assist your family during this difficult process.
