Additional Findings from NNI/NICWA on Tribal Child Welfare Codes |
Here.
Researchers reviewed 107 publicly available, tribal child
welfare codes for U.S.-based tribes with populations ranging from 50 to 18,000
citizens. Researchers sought out the most up-to-date tribal child welfare codes
available for each tribe, reporting that approximately 45% of the 107 codes
were amended after 2000. The research team analyzed over 100 variables on the
topics of culture, jurisdiction, tribal-state relationships, child abuse
reporting, paternity, foster care, termination of parental rights, and
adoption. A more detailed report on this study will be released later this
fall. For more information about this project and its findings please contact
