President Joe Biden has given a special commission a lengthy extension to complete a comprehensive report on all government and tribal programs that serve Indigenous children. While holding hearings around the country, the commission will evaluate, among other things, the impact of overlapping court jurisdiction on child welfare systems, barriers Native American tribes and Native Hawaiians face in using public and private grant resources, obstacles to charitable financial support, the validity and statistical significance of data on Native kids, and barriers to developing highly effective programs.
