Take action for ICWA
The Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) is a long-standing federal law protecting the well-being of Native children by upholding family integrity and stability. NICWA and partners are taking action to protect ICWA and end the threat of forced removal of Native children from their families, tribes, and communities. Here’s what you can do to help.
