Challenging the Indian Child Welfare Act and Tribal Sovereignty

In this conversational webinar, Dr. Sarah Kastelic (Alutiiq), executive director of the National Indian Child Welfare Association, will review the history of ICWA, the mechanisms it uses to keep Native children connected to the people and places they come from, and the continued need for strong ICWA protections to support Native children and families today. Dr. Kastelic will discuss with Social Current President and CEO Jody Levison-Johnson and webinar attendees what tribal sovereignty means, explore how ICWA is connected to tribal sovereignty and why opponents of ICWA are seeking to dismantle tribal rights, and share what you can do today to stand up for the rights of Native children and families and protect tribal sovereignty.
