Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), 25 U.S.C. 21§§1901 et seq: ICWA declares that it is the policy of Congress to establish minimum Federal standards for the removal of Indian children from their families (extended families) and for the placement of such children in foster or adoptive homes which will reflect Indian culture. In any case where a child is a citizen or may be eligible for citizenship in the Chiricahua Apache Nation, and such a child is the subject of a civil action which may result in the child’s placement in foster care or adoption, courts, attorneys, States and their administrative subdivisions, and social service workers are bound by ICWA to contact Chiricahua Apache Nation Attorney General Bill Tooahyaysay Bradford by email, phone, and/or mail.
