ICWA
The acknowledgment of tribal sovereignty is one of the keys to understanding ICWA
Congress recognized the important role of tribes in protecting the well-being of Indian children and keeping children connected with their tribal community and culture
It also recognized that tribes have an interest in keeping children part of their communities if they are to survive and thrive in the future
