The fate of ICWA

Each side presented their oral arguments Wednesday to the U.S. Supreme Court for the most serious challenge to the Indian Child Welfare Act in recent memory.

The decision in Haaland v. Brackeen will be a major force in the future of ICWA and the scope of tribal sovereignty.

Today on Native America Calling, Shawn Spruce analyzes the legal debate from a Native perspective.
