Supreme Court Affirms ICWA


(LAME DEER, Mont., June 16, 2023)—The National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center (NIWRC),STATEMENT RE HAALAND, SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR, ET AL. v. BRACKEEN ET AL. COURT AFFIRMS CONSTITUTIONALITY OF THE INDIAN CHILD WELFARE ACT 7-2

Even still, we have high hopes. As Justice Gorsuch stated in his concurring opinion, "often, Native American Tribes have come to this Court seeking justice only to leave with bowed heads and empty hands. But that is not because this Court has no justice to offer them. Our Constitution reserves for the Tribes a place—an enduring place—in the structure of American life. It promises them sovereignty for as long as they wish to keep it.”
