US: Cano-Santiago: The Supreme Court must uphold the Indian Child Welfare Act (Opinion)
Cavalier Daily – October 07, 2021
Native tribes including the Cherokee Nation, Morongo Band, Oneida Nation and the Quinault Indian Nation have weighed in on the petition and are urging the Supreme Court to overturn Texas’ Fifth Circuit and appellate courts’ decisions. These rulings continue to question essential components of ICWA that have protected Native children for over 40 years. Despite past lawsuits against ICWA, this new lawsuit could place the act in contention as the current Supreme Court has been called the most conservative court since the 1930s. Regardless, the Court must uphold the act and respect the sovereignty of Native American tribes to make decisions on behalf of their children.
