Native Americans, Adoption, and the Indian Child Welfare Act

On Wednesday, November 9, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Haaland v. Brackeen, a case challenging the Indian Child Welfare Act. Passed by Congress in 1978, ICWA establishes standards for the adoption of Native American children, by stipulating a preference that they be placed with extended family members or other Native American families. Timothy Sandefur of the Goldwater Institute’s Scharf-Norton Center for Constitutional Litigation and Elizabeth Reese of Stanford Law join Jeffrey Rosen to recap the arguments in the case and discuss the future of the Indian Child Welfare Act.
