NDN Collective LIVESTREAM #ICWA Lawsuit
The Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) is currently under attack in the federal lawsuit Brackeen v Haaland (2021) set to be heard by the Supreme Court starting this Wednesday, November 9. This case puts the future of Indigenous children, American Indian lands, and Tribal sovereignty at risk.
To shed light on this critical moment as it unfolds, NDN Collective will be LIVE on the ground in Washington, DC on Wednesday. Tune in and join the livestream on NDN Collective's Facebook, Twitter, and Youtubechannels at 10am MT/11am CT/12pm ET,and hear from ICWA advocates, attorneys, and more on this groundbreaking case.
Also leading up to this consequential case, Lorenzo Serna, NDN Collective Director of Tactical Media, hosted an NDN Live conversation on October 27 with Rebecca Nagle-- Cherokee journalist, and host and producer of the podcast This Land. On the second season of This Land, Nagle highlights an in-depth investigation into Brackeen v. Haaland and the potential impacts of the case.
The Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) was passed in 1978 as a federal law that set standards for the removal and out-of-home placement for Indigenous children; it protects the best interests of the child by placing them in homes that are connected to their tribes and relatives. Brackeen is challenging the constitutionality of ICWA, as it places preference for the placement of Indian children to the tribes themselves.
This Wednesday, November 9th, the Supreme Court of the United States will hear oral arguments for the Brackeen v. Haaland (2021) case.
