ICWA at Law Glossary
What is it? The Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) is a federal law regulating placement proceedings involving Indian children. If your child is a member of a tribe or eligible for membership in a tribe, your family has the right to protection under the ICWA for certain types of cases. ICWA can raise very complicated legal questions and you are urged to consult an attorney or your tribe. You can read an excerpted and Alaska annotated version in Alaska Rules of Court. DFYS also has a page on ICWA, which has many other links.Legal Definition Added By: Brooke
