Court preserves law to keep Native American children with tribal families

By MARK SHERMAN
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Supreme Court on Thurs-
day preserved the system
that gives preference to
Native American families
in foster care and adop-
tion proceedings of Native
children, rejecting a broad
attack from some Repub-
lican-led states and white
families who argued it is
based on race.
The court left in place the
1978 Indian Child Welfare
Act, which was enacted
to address concerns that
Native children were be-
ing separated from their
families and, too frequent-
ly, placed in non-Native
homes.
Tribal leaders have backed
the law as a means of pre-
serving their families, tradi-
tions and cultures and had
warned that a broad ruling
against the tribes could
have undermined their
ability to govern them- Demonstrators stand outside of the U.S. Supreme Court, as the court hears arguments over the Indian Child Welfare Act on Nov. 9,
selves. 2022, in Washington.
