SCOTUS Indian Child Welfare Act ruling reaffirms Indigenous Rights
In a 7-2 ruling, the United States Supreme Court today (June 15 th , 2023) resoundingly affirmed the constitutionality of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA). The Court clearly upheld Congress' authority to protect Native children, and the decision demonstrates a strong understanding of the principles of Indian law and the political status of Tribes and Tribal citizens. The majority opinion stated: 'We reject all of petitioners' challenges to the statute, some on the merits and others for lack of standing.
