Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to provide an analysis of the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 (ICWA), a landmark piece of legislation recognizing the exclusive jurisdiction of Indian tribes over the welfare of their children. This study used primary and secondary data to examine the historical events preceding the Act, the legislative history and implementation of the Act. The major problems with ICWA are twofold; there is no federal administrative body authorized to oversee ICWA implementation and compliance and there is no comprehensive and uniform collection of Indian child welfare data to measure the impact of ICWA. David Gil's social policy framework was used to analyze ICWA. The study found that although ICWA has been implemented for over 30 years, the lack of administrative oversight and compliance has impeded ICWA's objectives to reduce the overrepresentation of Indian children in child welfare systems and to place Indian children in Indian homes.

Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this thesis was to analyze the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 that was passed in response to the high number of unwarranted removal of American Indian children from their families. Analysis of the policy found the Act granted rights to American Indian families and tribes that were previously denied, however, it did not result in better outcomes as American Indian children continue to be overrepresented in the public child welfare system. Findings suggest the Act's failure to decrease the high number of American Indian children removals is a result of its improper implementation due to a lack of training and knowledge of child welfare workers, culturally inappropriate services, legal challenges, insufficient funding, and a lack of oversight. Practice, policy, and future research implications are addressed to strengthen the Act and reduce the overrepresentation of American Indian children in the public child welfare system.
